The article presents issues related to the phenomenon of social conditions of experiencing illness, disability, and pain. It will be presented from the perspective of sociologists, anthropologists, educators, and representatives of medical science. The article presents autoethnographical method, pointing out differences between its two kinds: analytical and evocative. In the text, I focus mainly on research practice, guidelines, and concerns regarding methods or techniques of research. In this article, I present two autoethnographic studies by the authors who have experienced serious, life-threatening disease. On this ground, I will present the most important features of autoethnographic study, such as: theoretical and methodological discipline, insights into one’s own experience, experiences, honesty, and openness. I also refer to distinction between autoethnography as a technique and method of social research. In the last part of the text, I present some of the issues pertinent to my own autoethnographic study and point out advantages and risks, as well as some practical tips related to the use of autoethnography.
