Grace,
I have never heard of Brown Sequard. Is it when myelitis hits only one side
of the spine?

Mindy,
Technically, Frank is correct. Many neuros do not like to use the term TM
but refer to it as simply myelitis instead. Yes, you are correct that an
attack can be acute, or sub-acute.
I suffered from acute myelitis, however my lesion was not Transverse (It was
Brown Sequard) and thus there was hope that I would walk again. Had it been
transverse, I would not have regained function.
Respectfully,
Grace
