I had Fifth Disease once.....That's about all I can think of. Nothing drastic, and apparently even though 40-60% of adults show evidence of having contracted the virus, most don't remember even having it.

I had something like this. It was like super chicken pox, all over my arms, hands, legs, and feet, and I had it for 2-3 weeks. Holy crap. It was so painful on me that I was forced to wear slippers to school.

Damn that it wasn't contagious, I'd've rather stayed home.

Hmm, eating bad pate and getting some crazy stomach flu. That was less than 2 years ago.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

Thankfully it wasn't a circulation issue as my arm wasn't pink or purple. But it's rather unnerving to wake up and your arm is tingling lightly, but hanging completely limp like it is made of jelly and refuses to do anything for about 20-30 seconds.
This happens with me every now and then. The worst part of it is when you start to slowly regain control of your arm and it hurts like friggin' hell...
