Tonic-Clonic (Gran Mal) seizure simplified.

First the aura hits: A funny feeling rolling through your body. Kind of fuzzy feeling like white noise.

Panic: Depending on how much experience you have, it may be heavy panic or just the cold realization that you are about go through hell.

The Contraction: Lose feeling in your body for a split second just before you feel all your muscles clench simultaneously with every ounce of strength that they have. The last thing I heard before blacking out during my second seizure was the high pitch screech from the air being squeezed out of my lungs.

The Episode: Yours muscles quickly release all that tension and they start spaz out and pulse uncontrollably. This is when you start to flail. Now you slide in and out of awareness while your body tries to go in ten different directions. This seems like it goes on for an eternity when really it is taking place for a minute or two.

The Blackout: Self explained.

The Awakening: Body now still and almost full consciousness gained, movement is not an option. It feels like all the energy you had was vacuumed out of you. Think of the most tired one of your muscles has ever been, then multiply that by 100 and apply it every single muscle in your body. All 600 of them.

Yes, mention it to your doctor.

Any involuntary muscle movement is a seizure technically. Considering this has happened to you multiple times you may want to mention it to your doctor.

Tell your doctor. A twitch and a prolonged muscle spasm are completely different things.
