No, smells are normal for people who have TLE. There are 4 or 5 kinds of auras, and they all present differently.
I smell, too. I smell rotten urine, or I get that metallic taste in my mouth. I have been having that since 95 at least--the taste thing. The smell thing has only been in the last 5 years.
People can se things, hear things, feel things, etc. They have deja vu, Jemais vu, entre vu, seeing things distort like move further wawy, or g et closer, or see a body part moprh right bfore your eyes.
The things people can see are whole picutres taht aren;t there--scenes, groups of people.
The things that they can hear include bells clanging and get louder, music that isn;t there, people talking or people's voices, buzing, humming, etc.
things people smell are unpleasantries, different flowers, burnt things, gasoline, candy, baked goods, etc. The list goes on.
