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 @wendywoo
Welcome to our group on Connect - glad you found us!
I'm really pleased to know your husband's Transient Epileptic Amnesia responded well to lamotrigine.
The weird smells really resonate with me — I have temporal lobe epilepsy myself, and unusual smells are a symptom I know well too. Memory issues are also quite common with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Could you tell me more about what his episodes look like? How has his memory been since starting lamotrigine — have you noticed any improvement? And how are you both doing with the day-to-day of it — is there anything in particular you're hoping to find here in the group?

Hi @bongo
I've not heard from you for a while. How has your friend been doing?

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

But do you remember to look at your notes? That's my biggest problem. I was putting notes on my front door but they never registered even if I read them, go figure. Recently I started putting them on my car windshield in my line of sight & on the steering wheel.
