Does Anyone Who Has Had A Generalized Seizuer Have Issues With Memory?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Placerville, CA

I'm not talking about short term memory loss. I can forget what I'm talking about in the middle of a sentence, and not just once in a while, but frequently. I also have moments where I don't recognize my surroundings and panic a little until I remember where I am and what I'm doing. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with these issues and if it has been or can be fixed.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. A lot of times, I'll get disoriented, especially at night, when I'm in new places. I go into a restaurant just to use the bathroom and, after I'm done, forget how to find the exit. It's concerning to me, and also embarrassing, especially when I have to ask for help. I wish there was a cure for this :(

yes, ALL the time. I can be talking to someone, and just forget what I was saying, or where I was going in my conversation. Very embarrassing, sometimes. But, people who know and love me, understand 😍

That happens to me so much. In the middle of talking and say. "what was I talking about" forgetting where I put my glasses. Have everyone's birthday in my phone and look at it often so I don't forget a birthday.
