" your symptoms sound exactly like what i remember, except that i tasted cinnoman, atfirst when it happend i thought i was having an allergic reaction because my girlfriend had just bought 3 cinnomon brooms as air fresheners,:-) they were these big, ugly decorative brooms that she hung in the closets an bedroom. but ever since ive been diagnosed ive had the metalic taste in my mouth, almost like a mouthful of blood without the blood. personally i think its because along with the nerves in my face being paralyzed my taste buds are too.
