Thank you everyone that responded and my epilepsy team. It is reassuring me that I’m not alone in this.

Unfortunately we ladies are also hit with menopause, which alone can cause memory problems. My neurologist said between the epilepsy, medications, and menopause, I might notice some memory loss and I have.

You bet. After I started having seizures my mom read every book I had to read in school and helped me with my homework because I lost my memory.

I'm 56 years old and have had epilepsy since I was 17. Having trouble with my memory has always been a problem. Even now I still have it. Reading and repeating what I read helps some but not much. Will talk to my new neurologist about this. Stay strong and remember we are all here for you ☺

Thanks for your reply, I bring up anything that comes to me with my doc, if I decide to, I am not shy about being a person that likes to? If I see fit, my doc is ok with that also, my opinion
