Hi, Linda! This is what makes this site such a wonder! I, too, have the greasy line' around the band but had never attributed it to anything! I have a real problem with full blown sweating above the T4 level right up to the top of my head which I had never had problems with before! Plus!! I have to lather lotions and creams on my legs and feet. Strange, huh? My left side is the very worse when it comes to spasms, coldness, and pain but it is by far the strongest. It was the first side to become paralyzed. The right side had hypersensitivity from the start and still has touch sensations but feels dead inside as the left side also does. The right side is also the one that drags. But when I drive it does come to the rescue as it controls the gas and brake. I rarely use the hand control. I did this for a year as I tried to return to work 40 miles away. Isn't that just amazing? I still feel like I am full of wet sand from the chest down even tho I can move around pretty well. I walk like a drunk so it's a good thing to carry a cane when we go somewhere otherwise I get funny looks and chuckles behind hands (that's true!)!!!
It's too bad there aren't neurologists and providers reading all of our info They could sure benefit from it!

Mine is T4-T5 area. That is where my lesion is in my spinal cord. I also get a lot of tingling on the left side of that area. The grease line I was talking was actually a very greasy to the touch line . As the numbness was ascending so was the grease line. It was around my waist and moved upward until it stopped around T4-T5. Another strange thing I experienced was a few weeks in, I had to rub off a lot of dead skin on both legs. Very Weird! It doesn't sound like any one else had these things Anybody have a problem with not sweating in affected areas? Linda in Pa Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
