Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most complicated neurological disorders that affects all parts of patients' lives, and for many causes a reduced quality of life (Kędra & Wilusz, 2016). In Norway, more than 10,000 people live with MS, the prevalence of the disease is increasing rapidly, and Norway has the highest incidence in the world (Berg-Hansen et al, 2014). MS mainly affects people between the ages of 15 and 40 (Berg-Hansen et al, 2014).

Aim The study includes health‐related quality of life for people in Norway with multiple sclerosis who live at home and are in a wheelchair (N = 6). The purpose is to show how they experience living with a chronic disease such as MS and how they perceive their own situation. How they value their own health and what leads to positive consequences is central to this study. Design The study has a qualitative design to show what health‐related experiences they had while living with MS. Method The interviews were conducted in their home and later transcribed. An interview guide with open‐ended questions was used. The transcribed material was analysed with a thematic analysis. Results Key themes were being free and independent, threat to the self and one's identity, and adaptation to MS. Free and independent in everyday life was essential for all the informants. Being dependent on others for basic needs was something they sought to avoid. Adapting to the new situation of changing roles was a challenge that required a lot of them.

To explore the trends in prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Telemark, Norway (latitude 58.7-60.3˚N), over the past two decades, with focus on differences between rural and urban areas. Methods: Data from all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MS in Telemark since 1993 were prospectively recorded and collected in a retrospective chart review. Prevalence estimates on January 1 st 1999, 2009 and 2019, and incidence rates at five-year intervals between 1999 and 2018 were calculated and all results were adjusted to the European Standard Population. The study population was divided into urban and rural residency using a Norwegian governmental index.
