Hi, I’m Eva Minkoff, and I want to personally welcome you to The Chronic Illness Community 💜
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating the complexities of chronic illness for years, this is a space built for you. My own journey with multiple chronic conditions has shown me just how overwhelming, isolating, and frustrating life with chronic illness can feel—but it’s also taught me how powerful connection and shared wisdom can be.
Our Mission
At The Chronic Illness Community, our mission is simple: to provide practical, community-driven resources that truly make a difference in daily life. We believe that while chronic illness can reshape the way you live, it doesn’t define who you are. Through shared knowledge, connection, and self-advocacy, our goal is to empower you to live fully and authentically—on your terms.
What You’ll Find Here
Every resource, recommendation, and story on this site comes from real people who’ve walked the path of chronic illness. We know firsthand that everyone’s journey is unique, and that’s why we’ve built this community to reflect the diverse experiences of those who’ve “been there, done that.”
Here’s what we offer:
Getting Started Resources: If you’ve just been diagnosed, I know how overwhelming that flood of information can feel. Here, you’ll find clear, curated guides and insights to help you take those first steps, from understanding your condition to learning how to advocate for yourself.
Community-Recommended Tools: Whether it’s a product, a service, or even a small life hack, everything we feature has been recommended by people just like you—individuals living with chronic conditions who’ve discovered what really works.
Support and Connection: Chronic illness can be isolating, but you’re not alone. This is a space where you can feel heard, understood, and validated by others who truly get it.
Why This Space is Different
This isn’t just another website—it’s a platform created by the chronic illness community, for the chronic illness community. Every recommendation here is based on lived experiences, not cookie-cutter advice. We know that managing chronic conditions requires more than just clinical information—it takes practical tools, emotional support, and the wisdom of others who’ve been through it.
Join the Movement
Your voice matters. If you’ve found a product, service, or resource that’s helped make your life a little easier, we want to hear about it! Submit your recommendations, share your story, and help us continue to grow this community.
Together, we can build a space that’s practical, empowering, and full of hope for everyone navigating life with chronic illness.
Lots of Love,
Eva Minkoff
Founder, The Chronic Illness Community
