Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / December 2004Associated smells
Hi My husband has had grand mall epilepsy for the last 10 years. He says that he usually gets the smell of oranges just before a seizure. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks not oranges, but sometimes there is some kind of ozone smell (only way I can describe it) before I have a partial. Sometimes I get the smell but no partial as well, or if I do I cannot tell. > > Hi > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > can describe it) before I have a partial.

It all depends on where the focal points of the seizure disorder are located in your brain and the location in your brain where specific memories are stored. If My focal point was in exactly the same place I might experience a different sensation because my memory of the smell of oranges might be stored in a different part of my brain.

As I'm on this NG ATM rather than getting my work done, where is the part of the brain which is associated with sexual satisfaction, and how could I transfer my focal point?

Sexual satisfaction starts in a different place, Malcolm. Now get back to marking!

NONONO!!!! Malcolm, you're on the RIGHT ng! Don't go off again :-) Oops, perhaps I should have put it like that ... sorry :-( Mary X >>>>As I'm on this NG ATM rather than getting my work done, where is the >>>>part of the brain which is associated with sexual satisfaction, and how [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Mary X Funny ya mention it - cause my brains "sex cells" (where ever they/it are/is!) somehow seem to get active as an indication of a seizure in my old age.

I've never experienced that but the other night I did have a deja during - um - an inappropriate moment. The only time that's happened - so far. Make of that what you want!

Keep trying :-) Mary > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks In addition to what Dave + posted before, if you do any searches, you might find references or articles under either Aura (or auras), or Simple Partial Seizures. Like others said sometimes the odour or sensation (deja vu or jamais vu) is a non-invasive way the Dr. can determine early on where the seizure Focus is (the launch point) and the newer more targeted medications can then be selected to work more effectively for the patient. Dave has a link to the efa.org website (for one) under his Website that you can reach at end of one of his posts. G./ I had it for years, it smelled like the gas dentists use. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks "Lewis" <las_news@hotmail.com> wrote in news:XLSdnUGlIMUdNjzcRVn- vA@adelphia.com: > I had it for years, it smelled like the gas dentists use. wish mine smelled like a fresh apple pie :P > Hi > > My husband has had grand mall epilepsy for the last 10 years.

I have complex partial seizures and there used to be a weird smell (can't describe it) at times. I could tell the smell was not coming from the environment. It only lasted a few seconds.
