Indigo Girls

I just got back from seeing the Indigo Girls in concert. They were fucking amazing. And I’ve never seen such a concentration of so many lesbians in my life. It was wonderful.

The opening group was fantastic. They’re called Girlyman, and I really liked them. Nate, the baritone guitar player, was kind of cute, too.

They performed a lot from their newest CD as well as some classics, including Least Complicated, Power of Two, Closer to Fine, and they ended their set with Galileo.  I’ve noticed that Amy sprays a lot when she sings. But that woman has such an intensity on stage.

I told my friend Pete that this show was kind of soul cleansing for me. I just felt really good about myself as I listened to so much awesome music.

While we were sitting at the show, my left leg went numb. That’s not a good thing. I haven’t had serious numbness issues in a few years, and that concerns me a bit. The drastic change in the weather (like we’ve had this week) will commonly knock me on my ass, but it’s usually fatigue and not sensory issues.

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.
