My memory's have always been an issue. It's gotten worse in the past few years. I seem to have issues remembering things throughout the day and tend to completely forget the previous.

I’ve live with Issue all my life . I struggle all the way from K-12 school. I was in special Education all of my school life.
The few mainstream classes I was in , I couldn’t keep up with my class mates.

My memory is good at foggy up. I usually know my Phone# for my cell phone . Every now and then I would forget it

Or I would o to a room to get something. By the time I get to the room , I can’t remember why I even came to that room

My memory took an even sharper decline when I started having seizures. Before I had seizures I could remember things and when I read a story I could tell you 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 how continuous seizures can cause your brain to harden and shrink reducing your brain cells making it hard to remember. I also have temporal lobe seizures which is the lobe your hippocampus is in. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that stores memory/remembers. The dead brain cells in my temporal lobe also ruined my memory.
