Question: in 1973 had a bad accident resulting in head trauma, spine damage, broken and fused L3 &L4 vertebrae. Shortly thereafter I started experiencing non-epileptic seizures, sometimes 2 a day, to 2 or 4 a month that also lead to 4 motor vehicle accidents where I had a seizure behind the wheel and each event was accompanied with more severe head trauma. All the different hospitals that I had visited had no clue or idea of what caused them or how to treat my head injuries. My last seizure & accident happened in 1984.At that time I decided to stop taking the only drug they let me have, Dilantin [ against doctors orders ] and shortly thereafter, I thought I could feel them coming on and was somehow able to fight thru them without losing consciousness. This background info I thought would be helpful for my main basic inquiry into memory loss, I basically don't have any memory prior to 1984. I also can't remember much of anything that has happened since then except bits & pieces. Each new job I've had I can remember what the order of business is but my old jobs are again only fragments in my memory. Could this have to do with the sever head trauma that may have caused some kind of " brain damage " I have received. As a little side note, all the doctors I've told this story to just shrugged it off saying I don't know what I'm talking about and your problem probably stems from your past drug use. I don't think so. [that's another long story] I'd just like to hear some feedback from a professional to see how close the info is to what I have surmised to be the difficulty, after all these years and after the research I have done trying to figure out my mental & physical inabilities.
