My doctor switched my medicine from Tegretol to Carbamazepine.

I saw a friend of mine I haven't seen in a while. We went out somewhere, I can't remember where but we had a good time. I told him of my memory problems. He didn't seem to notice. I can't remember where we went or what we did. This memory thing sure is hell.

-One of the things that I have noticed since having my seizures is that I become afraid in unfamiliar places if I'm left alone. For instance, if I go shopping at a mall with my wife or a friend and they leave me someplace unfamiliar and I don't know where they went, a sort of panic sets in. The unfamiliarity of this becomes almost terrorizing. The only thing that keeps me calm is knowing that they be back or will come look for me. Because of this I don't panic but stay where I am. I find this very interesting because I'm not one to panic and the feeling is very unfamiliar. But it's there.

No seizures today. I had a mild one last night while watching tv but I was conscience throughout. At least I think it was last night. It could of been 2 days ago but it was recent. My doctor switched me from Tegretol to something else. I'll have to look at the bottle to see what it is. I was lucky to get on "Instant Me" because I've been having trouble remembering passwords. I have little reminders taped all over my computer of different passwords and it took a while to find "PLM."

I got through the holidays without much trouble. I did forget where I put my wife's Christmas presents but did find them after a little searching. I did have to ask if I had gone out shopping for them in the first place, though.

I find that if I'm out somewhere, like shopping, and get separated from my wife, I'll forget where I'm supposed to meet and panic sets in. It's a feeling I've never had before and it is scary. What I did was calm myself down and stay in one area and eventually found my wife.

It did show me something. That is, what it's like to have Alzheimer's and not recognize people or places. You just don't KNOW.

Also, it's frustrating when someone says, "You remember when...", and you say you don't. And they say, "Sure you do! It was when..." and you don't have a clue. Fortunately for me, my wife understands and it doesn't get to the, "Sure you do..." stage anymore.

My memory sucks. I've just been trying to remember passwords on different websites that I belong to so that I can change them all to the same one. It drives me crazy.

I'm trying to remember Christmas. I do remember seeing family. It was ok talking, but to those who don't really understand my memory, it gets frustrating. Not at them, but just trying to remember. I've gotten to the point though, of just acknowledging to others of my memory problem. Fortunately for me, older memories are good. So I know who people are, but I don't remember the last time I saw them. I know there are ways to help memory. I just haven't figured them out though. I do think things are getting better, though.

My memory sucks. I get tired of trying to remembering things that I just can't remember.

Memory is still shady. I feel like I've been smoking a little pot. Just a little.

Feeling good. Still have memory problems but I think I'm finally getting used to it and working around it. Fortunately, friends and family understand and help out. It does get scary when I'm alone in an unfamiliar place, though.

I think I had a seizure a couple of days ago but I can't remember exactly when. It was a small seizure that I remember but I wasn't near my computer to log it.

Memory is still a problem, but otherwise...

My memory is poor. I went to a movie the other night that I had seen before...twice before. I recognized bits and pieces as the movie went on. But the nice thing was that I couldn't remember the ending so it wasn't a spoiler.

I keep getting a message on this site that says I missed the window for the next Pro. But my memory is so bad that I forget to log into this site to update my InstantMe. I guess I'll never finish Pro 1.

I think my memory is getting worse. I just don't remember. I feel I have to work harder to remember recent events and often don't remember at all. My wife will ask about something and I won't have a clue what she is talking about. Fortunately, she understands. I haven't had any seizures lately though...that I can remember.
