I'm in the UK so not a great deal of use but have you had an MRI to rule out Hippocampal Sclerosis? If not, I would get that done ASAP to make sure you have no lesions. Such lesions will cause the symptoms you refer to - particularly with regards to your episodic memory - recalling what you do or say, hear or see.In the UK, I'm lucky to be seeing some of the world's leading professors on this subject and the short answer is no. You may be able to lessen the severity by lowering the ictal (seizure) activity but that will depend on how regularly you have simple partial seizures.Their research team is testing the efficacy of Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which are basically medications that are given to those with Alzheimers.In your case, start by checking any MRI for lesions in the Hippocampus and also finding out the level of genuine seizure activity. Knowing both of those will give an idea of where you can go and what you will have to deal with.
