Back in November 2007.. Out the clear blue sky... I got a stiff neck.... i can move it to the left but not right... only symptom... then went to Chiro, he said just a stiff neck he fixed it.. then 3 weeks later... I got a back spasm that escalated to the following attack.... took a .25 xanax before attack never had prob with xanax before
looking in mirror
felt something change in my brain...
could not remember who my father was
jumping up and down and screaming..(felt something in my frontal lobe (3x screaming)
felt a brain fog after..5 days later same attack.....memory problems
6 weks later numb face... white blotches after face went numb and looked in mirror... slurred words...then i felt receptors dying in my brain and my mind not racing....left eye went blurring 5 days after numb face.. all test Negative.. .my psysc said Symphatic nervious system went out of wack??? What is your take??

Stress and anxiety can affect memory.
If it were me I would be concerned I may have had a stroke.  A migraine may account for some of the symptoms.  ??  With the back issue perhaps being separate.
I don't know.  There is an undiagnosed symptoms expert forum if you still feel you need answers.  They may be able to help or shed some light on the problem.
(Not that I don't think this expert isn't any good because I do (think he's good).)

Many of those symptoms are sympathetic responses in the extreme...some are baffling, but it's something that only you and your doctor will be able to sort out.
