What permissions DID you have prior to editing your grants.  How did you
edit the grant (i.e.  update user set Grant_priv = 'Y' where user =
'floobie' ).  What version of mysql?  Did you log in as yourself to edit
the grants, or as another user?  Also, you say you edited your 'Grant'
from N to Y and then you instantly had all privs?  Or did you edit you
Grant from N to Y and then go grant yourself all privs?

More information please.
