Time OUT?

Is it common for people who suffer with seizures to have memory loss with events or measures of time if they HAD NOT had a seizure any time near the episode that they cannot remember?

Yes, I believe it does happen, I lose memories, mostly short term, and the ability to remember simple things after the sz is over and done is reduced considerably for quite some time.. I have 2 children, and I can say take pictures, lots of pictures, seeing the pictures, sometimes will bring back a partial memory

I think so. It happens to me. I forget odd blocks of time that sometimes come back later when I see something or hear something that triggers the memory.

I do worry sometimes that I'm missing a lot. I have a child and I wonder if I would have remembered more about when she was a baby or small toddler. I try not to think about it too much though since it hurts my feelings and I can't change it anyways.
