I've had plenty of times when i've been forgetful but this morning on the way to work I was driving and I couldn't remember where I was going. Like I looked at the freeway exit and was thinking "am I supposed to go here or the next one" and it's a school (i'm a casual teacher) and area I know so I should have known it. It came to me before I had to turn off so didn't last long but i'm wondering if i'm the only one who has had that happen to them?????

My long term memory seems to be fine, but I forget stuff from several seconds like which website did I want to go to, RIGHT AFTER I open a new tab. Or if I am watching a show I can never remember their names.
I don't think I ever had problems with direcetions, especially since I cannot drive.

Hi Trinity --
Make a note of the experience. If it happens a lot, or starts getting more frequent, that's a sign that you need to check in with your doc. We all have senior moments (even those of us without epilepsy), but when it that sensation is extreme or distinctly "off", it's worth getting checked out.
