How Comes I’ve Got Memory Loss With My Epilepsy?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can’t remember almost nothing, is this due to an enormous amount of stress, lack of sleep or could it be something else thanks

Between your seizures and the side effects of your meds will make us struggle with memory issues.

depending on what type it is and how long it will last with a seizure. that alone will cause memory problems. and stress can cause seizures or worse.

Brain scarring from seizure activity. You lose short term memory.
I can still sing all the words to "Hotel California", but can't remember a conversation I had last night with my spouse.
