Deferred

I attempted to give blood this morning. Now that I’m no longer on my MS meds, we thought I might be able to give. Nope. I’m still permanently deferred by the MGH Blood Bank.

1. Because you’re gay, yes?  That’s why they don’t want me—didn’t you know they won’t take gay men?

2. Well good for you for trying anyway.  And whats with the gay question, they dont ask that do they?  How stupid would that be?  The fastest growing group of new AIDS cases are heterosexual women last I heard.

3. Honestly, it had nothing to do with my being gay. It was the fact that I have MS.

About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Boston with my pug, Reggie. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in January 2003 but have been living with MS for much longer than that. This is where you'll find my story, stories, and my history.

I want this site to be a place where people can read about my experiences with MS. I was fortunate enough to catch it really early and my results on drug therapies have been outstanding. This should be a place where people can realize that they can lead a normal life with MS. MS has changed my life, but it hasn't ended it.
