Hi Mary..It used to be funny when I couldn't find something blame it on age..but since my last episode I've noticed forgetting things or me knowing that it might be my seizures..My current situation I have to change it I know..Not so easy from where I'm at. So I have to accommodate. 💜Renée

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I know that during my college years epilepsy was not the only thing killing my brain cells. With age, I have gotten wiser and only have a thimble full of champagne when I visit my friend in California.
