This Roy adaptation model-based study examined how people make sense of the experience of living with multiple sclerosis. Eighteen persons diagnosed with multiple sclerosis participated in three interviews over a period of 1 year. Content analysis of the interview transcripts and the researcher's logs and analytic memos yielded five recurring themes that reflect the Roy model adaptive modes: we're not completely the same (physiological mode), how I view my future (self-concept mode), let me tell you about my feelings (self-concept mode), how I see work (role function mode), and let me tell you about my life (interdependence mode).
