Dear Colleen and everyone,

This site is so interactive. I was glad to receive your answer so quickly.
Thank you for sending the link. It's really helpful.
For the TEA, I get prescribed Vimpat and Fycompa. I got started out on Vimpat (one after getting up and before bedtime) but alone this didn't suppress the symptoms, so this was Fycompa was added (two before bedtime).
My situation is way better than before but still not perfect. Also, as more time goes by, I increasingly notice that my recall of many years ago with friends and so on is much worse than my friends of that time. I figure this must be because the TEA was already present in my 30s, but I had no idea I had such a condition, and of course TEA fits are almost completely unconscious.
I am now trying to come up with ways to be more mindful in my life to avoid forgetting important information. But the loss of memories is random, and I can't keep a note of everything in my diary.
I would really like to hear about the experiences, and strategies to cope with TEA, of other people.
David
