I started getting seizures about 6 years ago, and it seems like my memory gets worse every time. What's wierd is that i can remember something from 30 years ago, but I can't remember if I took my meds 3 hours ago. Or what I had for lunch but I will remember in a week or so.

I just got home from vacation with some friends. One of them isn't a friend of mine thank God! I'm sometimes forgetful & asked a question to her. She screamed at me that I already asked the same one. I lost it & BAD words came flying out of my mouth!! My best friend told her that I have Epilepsy & not to act that way towards me. I was pissed!! I saw a tear running down her face after afterwards. 😪

I've had many grand mal seizures over the years, and it feels like after each one I lose a little more memory.

I forget if I've already told someone something. I forget things I've been told. I have a terrible time coming up with words I want to use when speaking or writing/typing.
I also sometimes have trouble speaking or getting the words out correctly. It's embarrassing.

I'm sure all of the drugs I'm taking aren't helping this condition either.

Hello everyone - I know this thread is about memory loss. I just wanted to add that my memory is worse after seizures. Some days I have multiple seizures and after that I feel like my memory has been wiped clean. But I am confident that slowly it comes back. And yes I have hit my head on the ground several times, which may also affect memory. But sometimes when I’m at home alone I just try to think back to my childhood and find a fragment of memory. If one appears then great! I’ve made a neural connection. So I just keep thinking back to something that happened in the past or something I did previously and trying to make more neural connections. I also play brain games online. These help with memory. And just keep rebuilding those connections like a puzzle.

Anyone who had any repetitive damage to the brain can lose usage. looked at professional sport players, military, any one a repetitive neurological disorder. or damages.
