Taste & Smell Issues
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anybody experienced tasting and smelling the same flavor and smell all of the time and no matter where I am or what I eat? It started a few months ago and a couple of weeks ago I had a few seizures and it improved somewhat, but it is grossing me out. I had my VNS placed about a year ago, but it doesn’t seem to be the cause. I hope you all are enjoying your weekend and any feedback is much appreciated.

I have noticed my taste in food has changed a bit myself. No VNS for me but no flavor in food. Yucky but gotta eat especially taking meds. I added you to my team.💜🤗
