I have been doing some research on epilepsy and memory impairment, and its been tough going to find what I am looking for. I am hoping some of you here can help me.
I am trying to research people with "normal" functioning and intellectual ability, and controlled seizure activity.
So for those of you who have experience with people with temporal lobe or frontal lobe epilepsy, I have come across some research uncovering evidence of "impaired long term autobiographical memory impairment", leading right back to childhood memories .
My question is does anyone with epilepsy find their "memories" of their past or childhood do not "jibe" with the memories of other siblings and/or family members and friends? (It must be very distressing for you if you experience this.)
For those of you who have children with epilepsy who have reached the age of where this may have become an issue, have you experienced this?
Thank you for all the information you can give me.
thanks all of you, the person I know has memories of her childhood that just dont jibe with the memories of her parents, siblings and friends. Its very frustrating and sad for everyone involved. She doesnt remember family vacations etc
