I Suffer From Memory Loss And Was Wondering If Anyone Else With Epilepsy Has As Well ?

Seizures kill certain brain cells. Most of us have memory loss of some kind.

All the time! I've gotten in the habit of taking notes and putting reminders in my phone.
But short term and long are a regular problem.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member its funny you say that, I can remember facts I've learned decades ago but can't remember what I did yesterday. I can look at a ten digit number and remember in a second but not remember my phone number! The brain is a great and terrible thing.

I do not have a great memory at all. That does not mean doing something's are impossible, it makes doing something's harder. I went to college and grad school it was hard but I learned doing a few things helped me remember the things I read. I still remember some of those things today. It is only harder to do something's, laws make something's impossible.
