Do you ever forget your life???? When I sleep past 9 on the weekends, I forget most of my job for an entire week. Thankfully, though I have a friend who supervises me that has ADHD and Bipolar and understands and answers my questions until I get better. What causes memory loss when U don't have a seizure?

Well, lucky for me, I have a very flexible workplace. I work 9 hrs/day 4 days a week...plus I can work from home.
But...I was diagnosed 20 years ago, so I've had a lot of time to figure out how to hide a seizure or cover up if I forget something mid-sentence. My parents never treated me differently than my sister, and we were both expected to achieve. It's not easy, but I guess growing up w/them you just figure things out and pace yourself.

How do U work? Thankfully, this time, a coworker covered for me but how do I get re established at work once I have memory problems?

You can definitely have seizures in a theatre-could be from the lights. After my last seizure, it took about 3 weeks to get back to normal. ..usual time for people is 2 weeks. Stress and lack of sleep are big causes of seizures. I make sure to be in bed early, and nap on the weekends.

Hi Sue,
How so you know you didn't have a seizure in your sleep? Possibly a stronger seizure than usual? You say you lost time, well? Your description of the day before is truly setting yourself up for a strong seizure!!! Boy can I relate to that happening, it happened to me often! And I knew when I spent to much time on the tv or computer, it would cause it! Take care, keep a smile on your face!
