I would ask the doc. I get a metal taste in my mouth and funny smell when I have a aura. Maybe you can change your job. You want to keep working, its not good being home in the house. I went nuts for 2 years, thank you god for my 2 boys and my boyfriend for the last 6 years. But I have less sizures. I'm back to work a couple of days a weeek at my old job. Ask the doc.
