Methodology: Descriptive phenomenological study with qualitative approach. Seven people over the age of 18 participated, who had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Semi-structural in-depth interviews were held, selected by non probabilistic sampling of convenience until the saturation of data.
