Stop, Drop, and Roll!


My clothes keep catching on fire! Not literally. I keep smelling a burning smell and automatically keep checking my clothes for burning. When I find out my clothes aren't on fire I keep asking the guys I work with if they smell that and they say no and think I am on some sort of drugs. I just tell them, "duh... I am, you dorks, you know this". Then they laugh at me and I laugh at myself. Oh well. More seizures I guess....

Most sexy, but I don't think that has much to do with my clothes catching on fire. Although, since my daughter does look a lot like me I may be in trouble there... Hmmm, maybe need to buy her fire retarded clothes and keep her grounded till she's 30...

LOL I keep wondering who's skulking around my house smoking foul-smelling, 100 year old, tar covered cigarettes. Haha. Yikes, actually, I hope it is seizure activity and not some strange stalker:P

Not to ring any alarm bells but for some people unexplained scents are auras

Sounds like you are able to explain it just fine to me. It's the other people who are confused I often smell different things and when I mention them I get the deer in the head lights look. As a matter of fact, this morning I have been all over this building because of the terrible smell. apparently I am the only one "special" enough to notice it. I think I will keep myself on a short leash this morning.....

Wow. On Sunday I actually smelled and tasted something tarry and 'smokey' all day long. There were 'red bars' on the Space Weather graph that day. K4 and K5 geomagnetic storms too.

Not sure which day you smelled your smoke, but I blame my 'episodes' on Space Weather events.

It was yesterday that I smelled myself on fire. It's really weird how at the time you can't understand there is nothing on fire and it is just a phantom smell. I have never had smell siezures before recently. My siezures have been changing because of new medications and doses (according to my nuerologist). Yay me. <- Insert sarcasm. I think it makes sense they are changing though, I have some sort of cold or flu, my work hours just changed again, and my dosages just changed (for the last time <- Insert sarcasm again).
