Mike Has MS

Diagnosis
I went to see my neurologist today. He performed what they call a lumbar puncture, better known as a spinal tap. Who would have known that a 20ga needle could cause so much pain. The doc believes that I have multiple sclerosis. The spinal tap will confirm that. Before anyone gets all mushy and weepy, I’m not dead yet. In fact, he says that if it is MS, it’s in the very early stages, and it doesn’t appear to be very aggressive. I told my mom that I still plan on outliving her. I’m keeping a positive outlook, and that, more than anything, will keep me going.

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.
