Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure what took me so long -- but I'm glad that there is a forum for people like myself willing to share their experiences and feelings. I have been living this epilepsy since I was diagnosed 27 years ago (at age 13 I believe). My seizures have been pretty well controlled but lately, I have been concerned about my memory loss (mostly longterm stuff -- over a period of one year or more). I've been on Keppra & Carbatrol for a couple of year or so. My husband said that he has taken me to different places (ie: a strawberry field to pick strawberries, or to a lake several times, or watched a movie with him -- a year or two ago) but I have no memory of ever being there or ever watching the movie. Anyone else having this problem....I'd really like some advice. I'm finally going ahead with a cognitive study test -- suggested by my neurologist. I don't know if this test will help with anything, but need to have a peace of mind that I'm not going crazy.
