Marc Fenton is a 46-year-old Life Coach living in New York City and coping with the effects of multiple sclerosis. He is married with two children and uses an electric scooter to navigate the streets of NYC and the small apartment he shares with his family. Diagnosed more than 20 years ago, Marc has experienced all the highs and lows and many of the challenges this disease can create. He has tried or undergone Avonex, Copaxone, Novantrone, Methatrexate, Feldenkrais massage, acupuncture, support groups, psychiatric treatment, working with a healer (his mom gave it to him as a gift), conventional physical therapy and countless MRIs and spinal taps. He has held jobs while keeping his disease a secret and functioned in an environment where his health issues were widely known. He has experienced the effects of steroid dependence along with the harrowing consequences of steroid withdrawal.
He exercises seven days a week to stay as strong and healthy as possible.
In Marc’s blog, “MS in the Big City,” he’ll discuss the roller-coaster that is life with multiple sclerosis,from the beloved doctor who died of a heart attack in his own office (diet pills), another who wanted him to drink his own urine for its curative effects and others who over-medicated him to the point of near-psychosis to his overwhelming determination to live a fulfilling and positive life (with lots of laughs), despite, or because of, his MS Marc has been stranded on the floor more times than he cares to count, but he is still reaching for the stars, never giving up that someday he will see a cure for this monster of a disease. Oh, the stories he can and will tell in “MS in the Big City.”
