I get the dead rat, rot taste sometimes with no flash of a memory. It is disgusting. I get this 'impulse' to open my mouth to exhale ALL of it. And for my to it lasts only seconds. I am functional following this.
I have a taste also associated with a flash of particular memory. It is always the same memory. I taste the pizza from the lunch room in second grade. I know it's that particular pizza for some reason.The taste is so overpowering I almost loose the ability to stand upright. Following this taste, I sleep. I can not help falling asleep.

Does it ever feel like something is pinching or stabbing inside you're upper and lower lips when the tastes are happening? Your mouth has something made of metal in it with too much salt on it ?
