My wife's first attack was similar.   Her numbness started at her toes and slowly moved up to her waist and then it stopped.   She was never paralysed, however, was still able to walk tho a bit wobbly.   As the numbness diminished, she regained her mobility.

Mine took about 3 hours, starting with one hand feeling like I slept on it wrong, then numbness creeping up from my hand and then both feet up to my lower torso.

Hi All,
 
There may be some truth to the "spinal cord infarction" idea.  I too, went from normal to paralyzed up to my armpits, in just about a heartbeat. 
 
Could anyone else feel the paralysis "creep" up from their toes to wherever?  It took about ten minutes from the onset to finish and after that I remember nothing else until I woke up in the hospital.  Something I will never forget feeling.
 
Peace,
