memory regarding epilepsy

Tue, 09/29/2015 - 14:20
Hi I'm new here and was wondering if anyone else has my problem. As a child (I am 49 now) I was diagnosed with mild staring dreamlike seizures. And was out on several different meds. When I became of age I found my own doctor and he did an eeg and determined my brain wave was abnormal but not necessarily epilepsy so now I am taking no meds and am fine. But now I am noticing that my memory of most of my childhood is gone. I have difficulty remembering things we did as kids or gifts I got or some people that visited. Does anyone have this issue? it is very frustrating when my sisters start to talk about our childhood and I can't remember much!
