Guillain-Barré syndrome is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling sensations in the legs. In some cases weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper body. These symptoms can get worse until certain muscles cannot be used at all. At this point the person is almost totally paralyzed. This disorder can become life threatening.
