Sharon has had MS, an immunity disease, since she was 17. In the years before the plant she worked at in her teens and early 20’s closed, she was frequently dropped and picked back up from her employer’s insurance plan. To add to her MS, Sharon now has fibromyalgia and severe asthma. Her chronic diseases and medical procedures kept her from college for nearly 20 years. From 1980 to 1990 alone she received 15 surgeries. In more recent years Sharon has been doing much better. Due to more recent status as a full-time student she’s been eligible for subsidized insurance. This coverage has given her access to a new drug called Sol-Medrol that treats her MS and allows her to live a semi-normal life.
