    Extractions: Hi everyone, I am 36 and on Oct. 4th 2004 I lost my memory as well It was 7:30 am and I did not regain my momory until later that afternoon ( 5pm) my husband and kids say I knew who they were but didn't know the year or who was president. I am so confused as to why this happened it has been 8 days now and I still feel confused and I worry that this will happen again. I have read the medical explanations of this but still don't feel convinced that that is all there is to it I would really like to here from others who have had this happen. Thank you.

It happened on Dec. 2nd, and it is Dec. 5th now. We are all really confused as to how long he will be confused. He will listen to use tell him what happened, and still can't recall what we tell him. Has yours gotten any better? Do you still find yourself forgetting things you would normally have remembered?

On Serendip A little while ago, my father and grandfather were driving in our car together. All of a sudden, my grandfather said that he was feeling dizzy and thought the beginnings of a migraine were coming on. My grandfather is extremely healthy and has an amazing memory, so my father was shocked when not long after, when grandfather asked where Ruthy, his recently deceased wife, was. When my father reminded him that she had died of cancer last year, my grandfather broke into tears, as if he was being told for the first time. In addition, he couldn't even remember what he had just eaten for dinner or any other events of the day. My father drove him straight to the emergency room, worried that he had perhaps just suffered a minor stoke. By the time that he got to the hospital, he was already beginning to regain some of the memories that had been lost. The doctors reassured him that it was not a stroke, but rather a memory disorder called transient global amnesia. Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a type of amnesia involving the sudden, temporary disturbance in an otherwise healthy person's memory. The other main kinds of amnesia are called anterograde and retrograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is a type of memory loss associated with a trauma, disease, or emotional events. It is characterized by the inability to remember new information.

    Extractions: In his search of the medical and scientific literature for an explanation for his own statin associated transient global amnesia this former astronaut and retired family doctor reveals to his readers the critical importance of cholesterol for proper brain function and memory and the reasons for the damage statin drugs do to our muscles, nerves and heart and even our personalities. From his participation in the San Diego College of Medicine statin study to his review of FDA's Medwatch files of adverse drug reports and his email correspondence with thousands of distraught patients the world over, Dr. Graveline is uniquely qualified to discuss the magnitude of the statin side effect problem, the complex and wide ranging role of cholesterol in our bodies and the range of serious and unintended consequences of the misguided war on this vital substance.

    Extractions: The onset of transient global amnesia is abrupt, without the slightest warning to the pa tient that a central nervous system catastrophe is about to strike. Although consistently aware of their own identities, patients are often perplexed as to their surroundings and the identity of those around them. Although they can speak in a disarmingly normal manner, victims of TGA cannot communicate for they cannot remember words just spoken. Attempts at communication are often pathetically farcical as their responses to questions are usually totally irrelevant although earnestly delivered in a normal speech manner. Characteristically, these TGA victims repetitively question those present about where they are and what is happening but are unable to remember any explanation. To the consternation and ultimate frustration of doctors, nurses and well-meaning companions, they ask the same question, over and over again, sometimes for hours. In most of these cases disorientation is profound. Language and social skills are preserved and the ability to focus attention appears normal but, alas, despite the victim's desperate and almost pathetic desire to learn what is happening, nothing seems to register.
