My friend has Transient Epileptic Amnesia: Looking for info

So weird about short term memory. I am 72 years old. I remember sentences from shows like the Honeymooners (Jackie Gleason), 3 stooges and others, before the actors say the words.

Hi Roy,
The same happens to me — just to remind you, we have the same type of epilepsy syndrome: temporal lobe epilepsy on the left side. I remember so many things from the past so clearly, yet I often struggle with my short-term memory.
Nowadays, I make notes of everything important and rely on lots of reminders on my calendar and phone.
Curious to know, how do you cope with it?
Chris
