Effects From Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

As I have got older I have noticed that I am becoming more forgetful and that I am finding it harder to concentrate on something. Is this a common problem that occurs with epilepsy does anyone else suffer with this too?

I hate the fact that I have memory loss. It gets worse over the years. It saddens me. I have children and I want to remember there childhood. I have already forgot alot of my oldest.

Omg I never realized that there are so many people who feel the way I do. I have very bad memory loss from the seizures I have had in the passed. My partner and family have helped me so much to get me where I am today. I have had so many different jobs in the passed I can't name them due to the memory loss and the memory loss is sometimes the thing that made me leave my job. Well good luck to everyone with this and you will find your own way through it.
