Lean generally has promethazine in it too right? Codeine isn't good but its a pretty weak opiate from my recollection (1/10 as strong as morphine or maybe only 1/10 is converted to an active opiate in the liver). Promethazine is a strong anti-cholinergic which all cause cognitive decline and loss of brain matter in a recent paper. I would wager the alcohol + strong anticholinergic is what is doing most of the damage rather than codeine but this is just conjecture.

I thought it was called drank. I think you guys are confused, lean is like a cut of beef or if you are tired and need to rest on a wall.

This lean shit sounds like something homeless people would drink as a cheap high.

Why the fuck are rich, famous people drinking this stuff? If he wants to get high why doesn't he just buy drugs?

Less known consequences than other drugs. I remember I watched a Documentary about him in 09 and he was terrified of using hard drugs and didn't even drink heavily. Just tons of syrup.

I'm not very smart, I know, but I read this as, "Some on the plane stole his drugs, and he was hospitalised as a result."

"Oh seizure, as in an epileptic fit."

You don't feel anything during the seizure. A true tonic clonic seizure is essentially the electrical activity of your brain going haywire. You aren't exactly conscious is during it. You will likely have aches and pains afterword, but you can have some more serious injuries depending on if you fell and hurt yourself or how violent the seizure was. A true seizure will also have a post ictal phase for an undetermined amount of time that essentially knocks you out for a good while

And you bite the fuck out of your tongue. Shit takes weeks to heal. Good bye salty and hard foods for a while.

Tonic clonics are fucking wicked. I slept for hours and still felt burnt for a day or two afterwards

Had two seizures, dislocated my left shoulder both times. Second time it totally shred the soft tissue. Shit ain't fun, can come out of nowhere at any time. I'm not even epileptic (although I'm on epilim as a precaution).

Imagine waking up somewhere and being lost and confused and not recognizing anything. You're scared and everything hurts. Everything. I don't remember anything. I'll just wake up wondering why I'm at the hospital or why everyone at Wal-mart is looking at me. Or just why I'm in the floor instead of at my desk and why everything hurts so much.

Your head hurts because you've just had a localized electrical storm in your brain which just caused you to drop and convulse for some time. It can cause serious brain damage and strokes. I've had strokes but nothing from a seizure.

Every muscle and joint and inch of your skin hurts from the shaking. Also, never stick something in someone who is having a seizure mouth.

Depending on what you were doing you could have fallen on something and hurt yourself pretty bad, I've got a huge scare on my back from falling on a sharp metal corner and having to get it stitched up.

All of this is for a grand mal, tonic clonic or whatever you want to call it. The terminology changes.

There are other types such as absent seizures where you just kind of space out or do other odd stuff without remember it. There are myoclonic seizures which I have all the time.

That's not everything. I just suck at describing stuff.

Thanks a lot for this. I have no way of relating, but your description helps. From what you're saying, there's absolutely no recollection of the seizure event?

Not for me.

I know some people can tell they are getting ready to have a seizure. They smell something like burnt toast or oranges or see something like an aura or something but if I do I don't remember it.

Sometimes for really small seizures, but tonic clonics are not small. Imagine the most exhausting workout of your life, except you don't remember doing it and anything could have happened during it. I bite my tongue a fuckload every time. Last time, I broke the handle off of the oven and seized on top of it, which cut the fuck out of my foot so now I have big scars down there. Then I apparently got up and laid down in bed, because next thing I know I'm waking up in bed and everything hurts. Last thing I remembered was putting laundry in the washing machine. I also was super nauseous. The first time I had smashed my face into the floor and seized in a pool of my own blood, so there was blood all over the bathroom floor. The second time (I've only had three), I fell on top of a box of my stuff (I was moving that day) and I scraped up my knees a lot. And whenever I have one, I'm exhausted as fuck. Like I'm out for seven hours afterwards, and I'll be exhausted for a couple days at a time.

They suck, they aren't fun, and they severely impact you legally and socially. Plus, the potential neurological damage is massive, so every time you don't end up a vegetable may as well be a gift from God for all I care. Especially for someone with generalized epilepsy, like myself, where there really isn't a trigger and it could happen at any time (though we think we've narrowed mine down to a combination of extreme exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and high stress all at once). The medication sucks ass, too. Like, depression is a huge side effect, so if you didn't want to kill yourself beforehand, the medication may make you want to (though I haven't had this issue, my neurologist has informed me that it's actually quite common).

So yeah, when I see videos like this, I laugh my ass off because fuck that guy. Luckily no one believed he was having one.

No, definitely don't suck at describing it. I get it. Sounds very unsettling/unpleasant, even if you're not feeling an intense pain during the whole ordeal. I was worried that people having seizures would be in immense pain. It just LOOKS damn painful.
