Does anyone else ever taste something like the way metal smells or blood before a seizure?

It sounds like your having an aura @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member. Think of it as a warning sign . Alerting you that a seizure may be coming. Next time you start getting that taste, make sure you get yourself in a safe place to reduce the chances of injury.
