So in the notes it says that hemiparesis is not paralysis of half the body as that is hemiplegia , and hemiparesis is just weakness in half of the body

Hemiparesis. This happened to me. Lost all feeling on my left side. Doctors said it was mild TIA. But now 2 years later it happens on a regular basis with no warning causing falls. Specialty doctor says it's Myelopathy which requires neck surgery.
