I don't necessarily smell things but after a seizure my senses do get crossed and things feel different. I always pet the dog for an hour or so after because it feels different, my hair feels different, and (I smoke, and I know...not good) but that is another thing that I have a craving for after, not because Im having a nic fit or anything but because it FEELS different. As for smells, no. but I figured it was similar.

Gretchen, Was I supposed to put a filter over my nose before I put my nose in the coffee can and deeply inhaled? (Smiles!) Seriously though, I was smelling the burning rubber smell today and finally I remembered what you had said about the coffee grounds, tried it and the smell wasn't near as pronounced as it had been.Thanks for the info!!!-Spiz
