While I wrote the post, I did think about nausea and the fact that you wrote earlier about throwing up in a FFM. But I have no experience with that, I just know how to do it through an ordinary reg.

I describe the method I learned in this post: Top Six Reasons why one would want to dive with a Full Face Mask, Post #37

Barfing in a FFM can increase the chance of aspirating chunks. Chunks can also disable your demand regulator. Have protein drinks for breakfast!

A convulsion or seizure is simple: lights out, like the flip of a switch. You won't have any memory of it. So yes, you're completely out of control.
Can you feel it coming? Small chance.

As I understand it, sometimes you get a warning (see VENTID or ConVENTID for the signs). Sometimes you don't. When you do, it may well be like the warning I got when I saw the bicyclist coming at me in my lane in his tuck position as I was riding in a curving underpass--it gave me a chance to scream before impact. On the other hand, that may be all the warning you need. In one famous case, a diver getting such a warning signalled for an air share from a buddy and thus was able to get a safe gas in his mouth with a hand holding it there when he seized.

A much clearer picture is forming ... Thanks guys!
