Epileptic Smell
Posted: 07-22-05 07:55am

Hi, I was wondering if any of you suffer with a disturbace in taste or smell. I used to have grand mal fits from the age of 11 to 15, during that time and to this day I have smells that give me headaches and drive me up the wall. I dont get any big seizures these days ( i'm now 28) but I get "flashes" when I look at things like different coloured lines, say on a shelf with records on it, almost like my brain can't translate what it's seeing. Anyway, i'd be interested to know if anyone here suffers with the same thing. Thanks for listening!

I have heard of people that have a smell/taste aura prior to a seizure. The only experience I have had is since I developed epilepsy (37 yrs ago) my since of smell has been almost no existent.
