Yes, I think I can describe sort of what leaden paralysis feels like. A long time ago I used to exercise with ankle weights. I would strap on the ankle weights and run for a mile or so. Sometimes I would just strap on the ankle weights and walk around. Anyway, when I took off the ankle weights after I had been wearing them for a while, I felt like an angel: very light and almost as if I were hardly touching the ground. That is what it felt like on Day 9 of my Parnate trial: I didn't realize that I had leaden paralysis until I started taking Parnate. On about Day 9 of my Parnate trial, I noticed that my legs and arms felt much lighter than before, and it required less effort to move around. But, I should say again, I was not aware that I had leaden paralysis until the Parnate reduced it (although I was aware that I had a lot of fatigue), so what I felt was the reduction of leaden paralysis, not the leaden paralysis itself. I think you become accustomed to the effort it takes to move, and so you don't notice leaden paralysis so much, you just feel tired all the time.
