'Living With MS' - Getting Out Of Bed 

I am crying right now... 😣 The things we take for granted. Stay strong, sweetheart!

Keep pushing brother, I know exactly what it takes, I was diagnosed in 1996. MS strong 💪🏿

Got MS too. And you have all my empathy. I still can walk though, but everything I used to do sportlike is gone.

All of that and you keep smiling, God bless you

When my boyfriend told me he have ms but not sharing me details now I know how strong he is 💕

Your strength and patience is so inspiring keep going champ!🙂

Stay strong man don't give up and always push never take the easy way

Alright, this is crap! I am pretty angry right now. I am angry because we haven't found a cure for MS. All our money, all of our labs, all of our research, all of our geniuses and we haven't made squat. I also want to say to everyone on here with MS. I am sorry you are having to go through this. And all of you are courageous and inspire me. Robert, thank you for your great attitude sir. You are my kind of hero.

I don't have MS, but am having trouble getting out of bed after hip surgery. This video gave me some tips on how to do that. Thank you for making it.

YOU are an INSPIRATION...YOU make me want to be a more positive and productive human being! Thanks for being who you are and sharing your life with the rest of the world, Mr.Welker! God keep blessing you for blessing others with your encouraging videos.

This is how I get out of bed and into my wheelchair. My MS dx was in 2008 and It's tough. Best thing is to live life and never quit.

Watching the video deeply saddens me and it hurts me to see so many people suffering with MS. My mom suffered with MS and I remember when she was first diagnosed with it in 1991. That was the sadist day of my life. I watched her struggle for 18 years with this disease. I would always say I wish I could take it from her and fight the disease myself. I hate to see anyone suffer. My heart and prayers go out to every single one of you individually. I know it's hard. Please stay encouraged and try to keep a good spirit about life. I know it's hard to do but take it one day at a time. May there be some medical research developed quickly to help with combating MS. God bless.

Thank you so much for posting this video! It's hard to imagine the everyday challenges that individuals with MS face, and I very much appreciate you sharing your experience with the world. Cheers to you!

My half-sister and her son have this. She was a nurse for years, so is able to help her son when needed. Your video is an excellent example of making things work as needed. Keep fighting the fight and enjoying life as it comes, and hopefully the meds to inhibit finally get better.

Thank you for the post! Your strength and perservierence is truly admiring. I wish you the best, and look forward to future videos. Godspeed!

I have benign MS. I can walk and talk normally for now but i'm halfway there where you are right now. I feel your pain brother.

Thank you. I look just like that..I have been suffering from MS and now have fibromyalgia. I'm 66 It is so hard. Luckily I have an amazing husband God bless you!

I admire your courage and strength. God bless you brother and may he keep you healthy always.

My mother has fast moving primary progressive ans secondary regressive MS, and your videos have helped her have a sense of what is going to happen. Your videos are very informative, thank you for putting so much effort into making these.

isn't it insane to think that people wake up and jump out of bed and don't even thank anything or anyone for being able to get out of bed and wake up for another day of easy maneuvering? it's crazy to think that people just complain about life on the daily when they don't even know what a struggle is....i am praying for all disabled people daily and wish them the best days in life. So many people take life for granted and i wish they didn't. Good job to you brother.....keep the positive attitude!

Strong head strong mind strong man i will prey for you tonight stay strong my friend. God makes no mistakes

God bless u... Such a patient warrior u are... May your strength increase day by day... Best wishes...

I was diagnosed in 2011, in my 20's. I woke up legally blind for no reason. I had symptoms before my diagnoses but you can always chalk it up to other reasons. When I found out, I was devastated. See, my father has MS and is very advanced in the disease. It was like I was looking in the mirror and it scared the hell out of me. Still does. The fight is hard and sometimes I feel like i can't do it anymore. But I have an amazing husband who encourages me and stands by me with every relapse. I have noticed a change in my disease since I moved from West Virginia to California. Climate makes a difference for sure. Thank you for sharing.

People have no clue how exhausting this can be, then I have rolled out of bed and hit the floor. MS Dx for 16 yrs. Thank you for this video, I am sure it will be insightful for those who sometimes just don't get it.

Your positive attitude gives me hope!

*NEVER GIVE UP MATE, YOU WILL GET BETTER!!!*

i got mad respect for you ur cool :)

Thank you dear Robert🙏❤️

I too have MS. Most days get evenhanded than this gentleman displays. Bless you. Please continue to be strong. Blessings

Thank you for sharing this experience. Recently a family member of mine was diagnosed with MS so I am trying to find out more about it. You are a brave young man and I wish you good days and hope for better treatments.

Just wanted to say that you're a hero! I think I may have MS, I'm going to schedule an appointment with a doctor and get tested. I live alone and go through what you do every morning, getting up is beyond challenging, but seeing you go through it makes it easier to address and get tested.... Thank you & may God bless you for giving others the strength to carry on! Much love my friend, I'm sending you my best along with my thanks... 😊

Man this is bringing tears to my eyes because just like you were trying to roll over in bed I suffer like that every night I to have MS

May you be blessed with strength, big dawg🙏🙏🙏

Hang in there buddy. Thank you for sharing this.

don't lose hope keep fighting it will get better i was just like you if not worse i was in a whellchair now i'm using crutches and now i'm able to everything on my own. never give up may god help you overcome this terrible thing

Stay strong and never give up! You can regress MS. God bless you!

My cousin's wife just had their second child and now diagnosed with MS, Robert keep your youtube videos coming please! I bow to you and your strength during this time. You are helping more people with these videos than you realize. I wish I could say I would as strong as you if the roles were reversed.

You are a brave man ... God Bless you ...

Have you tried a little contraption that can aid you when getting out of bed? its a metal bar with a long loop arm that you use to pull yourself up. It goes under the mattress and stays pretty firm in place. My grandma used to have one and im now thinking of getting one too.Love your positive attitude x

Thank you for the informative video. God Bless

dude i give you props for battling this horrible disease my uncle has it hang in there man !

Thank u. You are an absolute gentleman.

You are such a beautiful and I spiring person! thank you for sharing this

No one understands how the littlest things in life can be so challenging. I have Multiple Sclerosis and each day is so hard. The worst is that your brain wants to do more activities in life, but you are trapped in a body that no longer works

The dislikes are because they are mad he has MS. Nothing to do with the video.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for doing these videos.....will there be more in the series? I hope your doing well

This is the same stage my husband's ms is at... We don't have an adjustable bed so it's extra hard for me helping him get out of bed... His mobility is so bad... God bless you I know what you are going through

thank you for your very helpful video

I respect those who live with MS! May Allah Almighty bless them all with His Guidance to his path (Ameen)

Oh honey. I'm sorry. Keep going! You're amazing.

God bless you

God bless you!

We needs to bring awareness to this issue please

I have had MS for 10 years now. It is worse than you could ever e.ver imagine. it really stinks. This video made me cry

Thank you of the video. My friend has recently been diagnosed and trying to understand it better.x

except for the bed that is also me but I have someone to help me most times get out but I tend to sleep in my recliner for years in an upright position it doesn't hurt or I am not as stiff in the mornings, it helps me. Suffering MS patient also.

I have so much empathy for you all my love and respect I've had Ms for 14 years and I feel my body is going in the same direction as you I'm finding it very difficult to not get mad with myself how do you stay so strong

God bless you.

Seeing this man suffer for such a simple thing and the comments in which they regret their fate, makes me feel very sad since I have the same limitations with a disease considered more aggressive: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It is what it is and we must accept it

I can sympathize, brother. The weakness plus the spasticity is really frustrating! I just want my leg and arm to listen to me again.

This video made me cry. I was recently told that I might have MS and one of my greatest fears is living to feel my body degrade around me. So having MS is pretty much being forced to live in a nightmare.

My cousin has ms and it hurts me seeing her like that I remember her being so activate and always cleaning the house and running erins every second now she confided to a couch and can't even shower on her own it's a terrible disease I pray for a cure stay strong there may be a cure out there one day I have faith in science & doctors 🙏🏻 .

I love your shirt, buddy!

2 Corinthians 5: 1-5 is a promise from God. Be strong and have faith in God and his promise. My prayers goes out to you for strength and hope. Every good day we have should never be taken for granted, but should be taken as a blessing. God bless you my man!

I suddenly lost strength in my hands n feet. Dr had said it was some nerves dat maybe got damage due to diabetes. I cant walk normal as yet n my hands still haven't gain enough strength as should. We hoping it does not go further. Need to do an MRI to check which nerves are damaged or is being damage. But i applaud u sir. U doing so gud n God with u all d the way. ❤❤❤❤😊

I'm in the same situation although not as progressed yet. God bless you and your family.

Hey brother, thanks for sharing this. How are you doing lately?

Would you say that your condition is worse in the mornings when trying to get out of bed and improves through the day slightly? Or does sleeping flat help your condition?

Go, Robert, go. It is seven years later and I hope you are still keeping at it. I get out of bed pretty much the same as your first way but I have some strength left in my arms. I am grabbing that bedside dresser and using it to get my self turned and sitting up. Thinking of putting a hand grip on it to give and assist. Sometimes my legs won't bend and then I am pretty much a beached whale. Makes it exciting when my bladder is giving way and I have got to move fast to get a hold of that urinal.

Dude you are amazing. I have MS too btw.

Thanks for the video my fellow MS Warrior. Takes me a while to get up too.

My dad has MS and is completely bed ridden. He's had it since I was 4 and I'm 12 now. We have since moved bed in with my grandparents who take care of him. Now he is on hospices care and it breaks my heart that I can't do anything with him but it happend to him and I have to accept that

thank you sir I know that's hard and very tiring I to live with MS

You are so strong

Hi,,, my name Ridwan from Indonesia,,, i love my wife, she living wiht ms since 2011 until now,, i very2 tired for asisstance her,, so this video help me to much..thanks

Your an inspiration for me you are amazing

i have m.s i was diagnosed at 14 but now ive realized cutting out meat and soda and not eating as much dairy products has helped ALOT

Does anyone know if this man is okay? He hasn't posted in a long time. I have MS... And i know just how hard it can be

This is so similar to how my situation was one or two years ago. Im worse now though. I hope you're doing better than me. Live life dude, do what you can while you can. I miss doing some really basic things now that I can not anymore.

God be with You brother !!!!!

Bless you ♡

incredible. thanks man ^^

god bless you

I was diagnosed with Ms when I was 17 years old and I'm 19 now so I know how hard it is

Rob you need to exercise at least on a stationary bike and do stretches. This was told to me my a good friend of mine dad who turned 89 yrs an has ms

Dude. I hope your condition has not progressed that much since this vid. Stay strong!

I understand! I have MS too!

This is a slightly frightening view into my potential future. I'll fight hard to keep my mobility.

this makes me realize that my MS not that bad

I was diagnosed in 2013, presented with optic neuritis. Had a relapse in January 2016, again optic neuritis. I still don't feel like I have MS, no excessive fatigue, lack of mobility or pain. Upon my admission to hospital this year I inquired about Lyme Disease. I worked in a forest during 2012/13 and thought perhaps I was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme. I was tested for Lyme along side a host of other bloodworks but it was a negative result. I plan on being retested by a Lyme specialist soon as the testing can often be false positive /negative. I don't believe it's denial, just want to thoroughly explore any avenue. Perhaps I've been lucky so far regarding symptoms, but the lack of them makes me question my diagnosis. Dunno if anyone will read this but I felt like rambling. I'm Irish/29/male btw.

Sounds really stupid but it works. I picked up cheap satin pillow cases from the dollar tree, lay them across the area where my hips will land. It helps me to move about all night and get up. Less friction from the sheets.

Thank you for sharing, it is just like me. How do you get your legs up on the bed? My husband does it for me.

im in the earlly stage of ms. i have the anxiety, mental part. i can still move my legs. i feel numbness and tingleness in my fingers. ms is a difficult condition because everyone has different symptoms.

Stay strong 🤗

❤️ and light

PRAYING FOR YOU IN JESUS NAME

I was diagnosed yesterday, so I have it all ahead of me.

I wish I could help you.
