Yes, that is quite common with tonic clonic seizures.

Hi Remi,

Welcome to this wonderful community.:woot:

You are not alone. My daughter lost memory of 24 hours after two of her seizures.

Hope you find some help.

I was like that!! Unless someone was with me I would have no clue what was going on, I'd have no idea why I suddenly have no front teeth (again) or why my nose is broken (again) or why all these strangers are standing around me staring at me when I'm trying to sleep. I'd get no warning of a seizure so I couldn't protect myself.
 
Wow, that sounds remarkably like what happens with me. I am either extremely fuzzy on, or don't remember hours before or after my seizures.

I do not get auras, or at least I don't notice or remember them.
 
My memory loss is very bad and I believe it might not only be due to the seizures but to the excessive amounts of drugs I'm on. I take 5 different types of drugs for seizures and I only weigh 48 kilo.
