Short-term memory loss post- seizure

Sat, 06/04/2005 - 14:56
Please, does anyone identify with this problem?My son, 21yo now, has always found that after a seizure he has no memory of the past 2-6 hours preceding the seizure.e.g. went out to tea with his friend to celebrate their anniversary and had a seizure later that night. The following day he could not remember anything of that evening from when I had dropped him at her place at 6.30pm. Still doesn't till this day 2yrs later. (by all accounts they had a lovely time..)He finds this aspect of his condition the most upsetting. This is just one of many examples. My heart aches seeing the sad look on his face as we piece together his movements on a particular day.This doesn't help when trying to identify auras etc. either as he doesn't remember.Does anyone find this happens to you?I have read many posts about memory in general and see this in him too, but not seen much about this other aspect.Thanks for your time,Maryanne.

Oh My god! It's really horoable when a father doesn't recognize his daughter :-O Short time memory loss isn't a simple matter. I suggest you to take care of your fiance very much. Wish him, get well soon.

Also, he has seizures so often lately. (If we go 3 days without even 1 that is a miracle). I am 7 months pregnant, and am trying not to let it get me too stressed, but it frustrates me to no end that I can't seem to be able to do anything to help. Many ER trips where they do nothing but give him an extra dose of meds and then send him home. His insurance won't cover the neurologists unless he is referred, but the er won't even admit him so he can go ahead and get his foot in the door to see one that way. His dr said they had to check his insurance first but that was last week and we haven't even heard back from them on that yet. I am at my wits end. All I can do is be here as support for him and love him, but it sends me back to when my grandfather didn't remember me when I lived with them to help when he had alzheimer's every time he can't remember me.

It's an age based problem in people nowadays. Old people normally forget where they kept their car keys or mobile phones etc.. On the other hand small aged students also suck this kind of short time memory loss problem sometimes. They can't prepare daily lessons or homeworks regularly. But there are some tools which can help them to sharp their memory. Virtually class can make them confident and easy to remember things in daily life. You can visit this website---->Click Here

To learn a little more to memorize your little things those are commonly avoided by you. Question me if you got any confusion about it.
