Q: Epileptic Smell
asked by: Anjis on July 22nd, 2005

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.

smells
My daughter, 14, has epilepsy. She gets frequent "bad smells". She'll say OH what stinks and no one smells anything but her. What is happening? Is this normal?
