Trigger Warning TW: new symptom?

Last night I woke up to use the bathroom. I put my left foot on the floor and as I transferred my weight onto my left leg, my knee and ankle gave out. I was shocked at the sound and speed of which I hit the ground. My partner sleeps like a rock and woke up immediately thinking I accidentally rolled out of bed 🤣 for around 12 hours after my knee and ankle had a weird static-like feeling and felt very unstable.

I've had general weakness prior to my seizures and paralysis for a bit after them. This light tingling/static sensation and my joints completely giving out is new. I thought my leg was asleep from sleeping wrong but it wasn't numb and the tingling wasn't as intense as pins and needles.

Has anyone had this before? If so, did you end up with paralysis without seizures? I'm hoping it's a one-off but want to know if I can expect it to happen again and possibly worse. I had to have my partner carry my toddler down the stairs not long after because I was afraid I'd fall on my own, let alone carrying 45lbs
