I have simple partial seizures, and the only discernible feature is the olfactory aura of a burning smell. It "clicks" on suddenly and abruptly. Once the smell happens, it persists ALL DAY LONG. I have been on Keppra for 10 months now and though I thought initially it might be helping, I'm getting worse again. I have an simple partial seizures event almost every day now, currently 13 days in a row. I average 20 seizures in a month now. My taste gets distorted too. The smell sometimes is chemical like as well, but on my current round, I am getting headaches by late evening and more fatigued. See neurologist next week and wondering if med change or addition will be in order. I have simple partial seizures only. Anyone else with the olfactory aura have the smell that stays all day like that? I can't get rid of it, have tried pro-active measures like jasmine oil under my nose-nothing stops it. No pattern. Some triggers like smoke and when something is being fried, but most of the time, nothing triggers the seizure-it just happens. Feedback anyone?
