The land of grey peas and bacon

I went to watch it last night it was a good film. However it got me thinking about memory loss. To not remember who the people are around you of the life that you had and maybe even going back 5 years and thinking that is your life right now...

I believe Alzheimer's is a degenerative condition, and not an acute one. However, I could be wrong.

No you can get memory loss through brain injuries...

Not realy giving the story away as the theme of the film is in the trailer.

Its based on fact too.

Eck! I really couldn't deal with thinking I was in the same position as 5 years ago! what a frick'n nightmare that was

I would be in the opposite state to your filmy person, and have to re-learn that my EX had just dumped me for a younger woman and I'd bought a house I couldn't afford to keep lol!

little house on the praire

I have a condition called transitional global amnesia. When im in an episode i cant make new memories. Ive suffered from it for years but didnt know what it was i just called it memory blanks. ie i could have a telephone conversation with someone and they would phone me and say "oh i told you that earlier" and id have no recollection of the call. Or i would see the start of a television programme and the next thing it would of ended and i would not have fallen asleep but not know a thing about it. I only truelly know ive been in an episode when someone else witnesses it as i have no memory of it obviously. When im in one, i become confused, repeat myself constantly and just cant take in information. I was only diagnosed when i had a massive one that left with without two full days memory and my mum witnessed it as id somehow fallen through a full length mirror and rang her. You can still function ie, i would be able to make a phone call or make a drink as these are things ive always known how to do. Mine can usually last from literally a few minutes to a few hours. Im more aware of when ive been in an episode now as there are some key signs like i find ive deleted things when ive been in one. But it is weird having to rely on other people to tell you what happened to you
