Former Try Guys member Ned Fulmer has disclosed that he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2013, keeping his health struggle private for over a decade. The 38-year-old YouTuber shared his story in a video posted to his channel on Sunday, partnering with WalkMS to raise awareness about the incurable autoimmune disease.
In the video, Fulmer described living with MS as experiencing numbness in his hands daily and living in fear of waking up unable to walk. He recalled waking up one day in 2013 to find himself unable to walk, and later collapsing in the bathroom, unable to get off the floor. He was rushed to hospital, where he received steroid injections and a plasma exchange, eventually recovering.
Fulmer now manages his condition with twice-daily oral medication and says he is in remission. He admitted that keeping his diagnosis a secret for so long was not helpful, and he hopes his openness can help others. He challenged himself to walk as far as possible without stopping to raise funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, vowing to donate $1,000 for every 10 miles walked. After walking 26 miles, he broke down in tears.
Fulmer was ousted from the Try Guys in 2022 following a cheating scandal involving an employee at his production company. He and his wife Ariel separated in September 2024; they have two sons.
