Only one memory episode. Also am getting older and do have to be aware of mood. Can fly into rage mode. Sign for me danger of seizure approaching. Don't think it affects my sleeping at this time.

Definitely have had memory problems, since the damage took place. With change in medications, the memory problems have altered enough to be taking medication for memory. Of course with age and further medication changes, my memory does continue to drive me up-a-wall, at times.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, please mention the 'rage mode' to one or more professional. I was going into 'suicide thoughts' until taken off of a generic medication. Just the seizure can put you in a dangerous situation. A rage can make it more dangerous.
Enjoy life and may the Spirit of Life be with you.

Menopause can also play havoc with your memory. Add epilepsy and meds and it is a threefer.

My husband has memory issues and he does not have epilepsy so some of it may just be from older age. He asks me to remember things for him so I have to remember for myself and him. LOL
