Default Clonus

Hello all,
Recently diagnosed? I am 34 year old male that cannot have an MRI due to pacemaker. They drs have made the diagnosis based on labs, family history, other symptoms but the one that sticks out to me is the one sided ankle clonus. Anyone else experience clonus only on one side? My left side not one twitch. My right side it would go for 30 seconds if the doctor let it.
Anyone else experience juste one sided clonus?
If so please give me any feedback. Scared crapless and on high does sloumedrol right now it sucks
Thanks all
Chris

I occasionally get the clonus in my right thigh. It usually only happens when I have to hold a contraction in it and the body is experiencing greater fatigue than usual; like holding my foot on the brake during stop and go traffic.
It is one of the reasons that I avoid city driving, especially during rush hour in large towns and cities.

With love, Erika
