Could you please help diagnose what my mother might be experiencing? She has had episodes of not remembering things. For instance, the first episode, we were driving home from her work and I was blabbing on about something and I said the word kangaroo and she looked sharply at me and exclaimed What did you just say?! and she was completely shocked because it just didn t seem right in her head. The only way she can explain it is that it just doesn t sound right. I was continuing to say words and they just didn t seem right to her. We got home and she was fine after a while. The second episode, she was at a party and half of people faces seemed to be missing. She knew who they were it s just that their faces were distorted. About 10 mins later on that night she was looking at people and she knew who it was but it seemed like she had never seen them before, like she was looking at a stranger that she knew somehow. The third episode, she was going down to eat dinner and her food had no flavour. This may sound normal but before every single one of these episodes she has lights to the side of her head almost like lights are reflecting and she can see it. She has gone to the doctor and a test confirmed she had no brain tumours or such. The doctor said she was experiencing the symptoms of a migraine without actually having a migraine. He said it might be because she is under stress with work and family and he describes it as on a computer where there are too many tabs open and it starts not responding and you have to wait for it to work again. He simply said to just relax more, meditate and write things down in a diary more. I am asking today to see if you have any prior knowledge of anyone having anything like this and what it is and what they did. Many thanks.
