With no medical training whatsoever, I would venture to suggest you had
what my sister-in-law had, the Guillain-Barre syndrome. In addition, she
occasionally had tingling sensations in her legs. From what I remember
reading in a book at the time, it tends to affect mostly women in their
20's-30's, but of course it's been years and I might be totally wrong.  But
hey, this is the Internet, you don't need to know anything to express an
opinion!
