It was asymmetrical in my case - higher on the right hip than on the  
left.  The right leg had the severe problems, excess tone that  
twisted my foot at least 30°, the lessened sensitivity to heat and  
cold, the screwed up interpretation of sensations.  The only effect  
more severe on the left leg is the knee-jerking spasticity.

Hi Alton,
Do you think this could happen and affect only one side of the  
body?  I think this was considered at my initial onset 3 years ago  
and the docs decided against it.

There is another condition that wipes the spinal cord without any  
evidence of inflammation - a spinal stroke.  I believe this  
happened to me - a small infarction in a branch artery.  A piece of  
tissue the size of a rice grain in a sensory tract died and  
polluted the neighborhood; in twenty minutes I was paralyzed from  
the waist down.  Took months to recover motor control, and  
spasticity remains today.
