A member asked:
I have absence epilepsy which happens about 20 times a day i also think my memory is worsening will it be linked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are having 20 absence episodes a day it can certainly interfere with memory. How long are the episodes? Are you on medication? Some seizure meds cause memory problems as well. Talk to a neurologist about this.
