Can you tell me the name of the rare disease where your feet go numb, and the numbness slowly works it's way up then back down your body?

Poss. Guillaine Barr: Guillaine barre disease is infectious or auto immune disease that affects nerves in body from periphery then progresses towards central body and if treated successfully gradually retreats over many months. Perhaps you are referring to this.
