CAH PULSE

Season 2 | Episode 1: Marc: Living Life to it's Fullest - "Nothing Holds Me Back"


Listen Later

Marc wasn't formally diagnosed with salt wasting CAH until he was the age of 3. Up to that point, Marc's mother had spent his infant and pre-school years simply trying to prevent him from vomiting all the time. The only remedy that seemed to work was constant high doses of salt. Lots and lots of salt. Although she was percieved as a neurotic helicopter first time mother, and doctors simply didn't value her hunches and her conviction that something was not right, her instincts were spot on and in the end this salt heavy diet saved her child's young life.

Then, things started to make sense when Mar'c little brother was born and instantly had a life threatening adrenal crisis. Once his baby brother was diagnosed and treated for salt wasting CAH they realized marc's mother wasn't crazy after all...and so begins a life journey for 2 brothers learning how to advocate for themselves, take their own medicine, play sports (even in the heat of the summer) and live life to it's fullest without pretense or worry. 

Join Dina and Stephanie as they speak with Marc and hear his inspiring story of hope and relief in the face of a life long incurable condition. Marc's calm and poise will leave you embracing his empowering direction for adults, parents and kids growing up with salt wasting CAH.
