Re: [epilepsy] Re: Hello from a newbie

 

Hi Iris,

You sound like me! Don't worry...you are just having new types of seizures. The smells can either be something horrible or sicky sweet...i smell pepper. I used to have people test my food before I knew what was going on.

I've had numbness before as well...usually in my fingers. Mine comes and goes, but I guess it's neuropathy.

I went through all of this as a teenager, so I get where you're coming from.

During this time I can speak but not make sense and even eat. Some people don't even notice unless they are looking directly at me.

For some reason it is terrifying to me. I also get very unsteady on my feet. I have also had a horrible feeling in my head which made me feel really sick and again terrified. I have had strange smells like onions all over my hands (which I had not touched) and some other strange feelings which are very fleeting. I sometimes think I'm imagining things.
