Can you tell me what sickness I had and how it almost killed me?

When I was about thirteen years old I was out with my friends on the street playing like normal. It was the summer and I live in a fairly cool climate. It wasn't too hot out. I had felt completely normal the entire day and had not been sick in any way for some time.
Out of nowhere I suddenly felt like my body weight tripled and I started to feel really unable to focus. I told my friends I wasn't feeling well and went home. I went from normal to a sack of bricks in about one solid minute. It was in no way gradual. I got home and managed to make it to the third floor of my house and immediately fell on my back on my sister's bed. I passed out on the spot. I woke up just about a full twenty-four hours later completely immobilized. like I would not have been able to read the time and date on my sisters cd player if my head hadn't fallen in that direction on its own kind of immobilized. I tried to lift my head, it would not move. Tried to wiggle my fingers. No luck. I thought I was paralyzed. I couldn't talk I couldn't do anything. So I passed out again. I woke up another full twenty-four hours later. No food or water in two days. I had regained some mobility. I could lift my arms slightly and move my head around but could not lift myself up. There was nobody home for days and I couldn't reach any phones so I fell asleep again. I don't know how long I slept the third time because all I can remember when I woke up is that I was desperately thirsty and I hadn't had any water in a while and I thought I was going to die if I fell asleep again. I had enough strength now to get myself to fall off the side of the bed. I could not get up and walk so I dragged myself to the bathroom and got myself up over the side of the tub and turned the water on and drank as much water as I could. I turned the water off, managed to get myself back into the bed somehow and fell asleep again. I slept about 4 days in total. Three(ish) with no water. When I finally woke up again I was able to get up and I immediately drank more water and ate as much as I could. After that I was fine. I never experienced any other symptoms. No trouble breathing. No sore throat. No cough. No nausea. Nothing else aside from what I described. I'm thirty-four now and I've not before or since experienced anything like this. I was a big kid but I was relatively healthy and a totally capable human being.
What the hell happened to me?
