I smell Bacon

This is weird.... mmmm. Last night I smelt bacon cooking but there was no bacon cooking anywhere in the house.
Has this ever happened to anyone else on the board?
Not that I'm complaining I love the smell of bacon frying. God knows it could have been worse.
with warm regards,
Tony

sometimes when I would have a seizure yes I would get a burnt bacon/soap smell. Hard to describe but I doubt that is what is going on with you.

Perhaps it was a psychic, rather than a physiological event. Could mean you're about to be arrested.

I have had that happen a few times, like you enjoyed the aroma(sp) but kinda freaked because no bacon in weeks so not sure where it came from.

Thats because someone died in your house in the past. It must have been a terrible bacon accident.

There are alot of differant types of auras. I have smelled things, heard noises (voices like the tv is on somewere in the house) and my fav. the flashing lights in all the pretty colors.
I think we all have alot of differant things going on in our heads besides CH

Scents can definitely be an aura. About the only aura I get is a pusling in my eyes, but I don't always get an aura with a migraine. Sometimes thedamn thing just onsets.
I wish there was an aura for Ch besides just shadows. Some days I shadow so heavy I am constantly thinking I am going into an attack because it'll build then release a bit... until a full-on CH's says 'enough playing around'.
You might want to talk to your doc about it.
Or maybe you were just hungry.
Peace,
Carl

I guess I should have just said I never had a one sided migraine but I met lots of people in the MI headache clinic that purportedly had them. At the time I did not think they had migraines at all because most of them were seriously de-toxing from mass quantities of narcotics, (Fiorinal) etc. I still don't know why my diagnoses reads the way it does except maybe to explain the lack of pf time in between hits.
But I don't vomit or see flashing lights and sound does not bother me anymore like it did in the good old days with migraine only, but light still makes me nuts 
Go figure.....Tim

My sister, also an episodic CHer, gets one sided migraines. She once reported the persistant smell of Italian sausage and peppers (throughout a whole day) when she successfully used a SPUT for a migraine.
Guess what she had for dinner that night?
nani, who looooves bacon and sausage and peppers, but never gets any good smell hallucinations.

I sometimes pick up a smell of something experienced earlier in the day.....often food...and sometimes more than a few hours ago. They say the sense of smell is about the most pronounced of all.

Don't have CH, but I do get one sided migraines (and Dr. Moore just happened to be my doctor way back when I was officially diagnosed). And your migraines may not be acting like they used to. Mine tend to change their modus operandi, and they do switch sides, sometimes within the same episode.
No olfactory hallucinations though.

Thanks all.
My sinuses are fine with the exception of when I get the usual CH Left nostril clog and drip.
Today I really wanted to smell Sugar cookies but to no avail.
I'll mention the hallucination to my doctor...Then I'll try to help him roll his eyes back down out of his head. On my last visit (last week) I went armed with a stack of print-outs and information gathered from all of your suggestions in regard to Oxygen (from another thread) He didn't give me a script but he referred me to a Neurologist. He's usually a hell of a nice guy... but when I presented him with the info he seemed pissed off.... I don't know, maybe he was having a bad day.
I've not been in the best of moods lately. The lack of any meaningful sleep, is definitely a contributor. I'm avoiding the use of the Imitrex because of heart concerns and the beast is more interested in Boxing than playing checkers.
Thank all of you guys for your comments... sometimes I don't know what I'd do without you, life would certainly be allot less worth living.
with warm regards,
Tony

Hang in there my friend ! It sounds like you are doing all the right things. My present Doc is good, but I have had some especially "specialists" that get upset when you come in knowing more then they do about what you need.
