About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Salem, MA with my pug, Reggie. I'm a DBA (database administrator) with a high tech company. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to Providence in December 2004 and then to Boston in November 2005. March of 2008 brought me to Salem on the Massachusetts north shore.

What else do you want to know? I'm an aviation geek, a foodie, have some tattoos and live with Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm in my first season singing Baritone with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm hardly shy.

Changing the Doctors

I went to see my psychiatrist today. That went well. For the first time in a really long time, I feel like the pieces of my life are falling together. This is all good.

One of the things I told him was that I was less than thrilled with my current primary care doctor. I love the guy, but his office staff is awful. My PCP is at the Boston University Medical Center, and I’m just not content. I’ve been trying to find a new neurologist and he hasn’t been too much help.

My psychiatrist is at Fenway Community Health, which is a health facility that caters to the gay, lesbian, and associated communities. So when I was talking to him today, I asked him for a recommendation within his facility. I see the new primary care doctor next week.

The doctors at Fenway are associated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of Boston’s leading medical facilities. That’s where we’ll find a new neurologist.  BIDMC the teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School.  A cursory search on their site shows several doctors who specialize in MS. That’s a good sign.
