Stress does some odd things to us... Speak to the doctor and see what they think too!

I can smell and taste something I can't even explain and usually last for 30 seconds. It's sometimes a sign of seizures

I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy with generalised tonic clonic seizures. I'm on Lamictal and Keppra. I also often smell weird smells or existing smells with greater intensity than people around me. It often happens pre-aura, but not always. My doctor doesn't seem too worried since I have no other physical abnormalities.

What Rowen said. Nobody else can smell it. Sometimes I ask ."you smell that?" Turns out it's only me.

I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy too. I go see my doc in July. She must not be too worried about it after my EEG last month if I'm not being called back in, idk. Like I said, since they have been occurring for some time, and have never been a precursor to a seizure, my doctor is unsure if it is a new side effect of medication. @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I find I ask people that too, but usually it is just me, though sometimes it isn't. @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member auras would be a nice thing to have. I agree, but that doesn't seem to be what I am dealing with.
I was just sitting on the couch reading last night and it started. I am starting to wonder if it is stress related. I am at the end of the school year and it gets really nuts and demanding. It has been a crazy year and I have suddenly begun to wonder if there could be a stress element to the increase in frequency. Any thoughts?
