That’s what happened to me too. Before I had seizures I could remember everything and when I read a story I could tell my mom everything about it. However, like a snap of the finger, when I started having seizures I no longer could/can remember anything. I’ve heard epilepsy can kill our brain cells making memory worse and even shrink our hippocampus which is the part of the brain responsible for memory.

I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I think it's dif per person and how their condition effects them, I can relate but in my own way of what you are saying, but I am not you, I'll be able to similar, but not the same, since we are all different than everyone else here that has their own condition (s) I also do my own research about the condition of epilepsy online and heard that it having a seizure one day can last a few days later, but that is a study they have put together and online, I have experienced some of those that they mentioned, but I think that is dif per person in my opinion, I am not a doc, but after 53 yrs of having them,I have a pretty good idea of what I am to expect and go through when I have a seizure, so they are more stable than before, I'd say, about 50/50 I thought it was more controlled than that but that is my opinion on my current condition I have, my doc is ok with the estimate amount of seizures I have when I go to see her, and I see her twice a year, I think that maybe they may find a cure down the road for the the conditions we have or a way to make the conditions we have in our lives better than before, either would be okay in my opinion, but I hang in there and try and stay pos and so can you, my opinion here, my best medicine for me though is my daily routine of prayer and bible study I believe in and do, I am not perfect and do sin, but I confess my sin daily and stand firm in my life with my religion and religious practices I have, I am a Catholic christian mix and believe in the bible and the God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit of Abraham and stand firm serving no matter what!
