No. Maybe. I don't know. Ask me in 6 months.

No. But thank you for reminding me. I'll get that to you.

Unprompted advice, so take it or leave it. I have memory issues caused by a neuromuscular disease. Solidifying episodic memories is a challenge for me.

I've found that journaling helps. Each night I write down anything of interest that happened that day. Sometimes it's one sentence, sometimes a whole page, doesn't matter. It seems to make a slight difference in how well memories will "stick".

Just an internet stranger's two cents. Thanks for the AMA, interesting stuff!

I have to write down anything I want to remember immediately. Otherwise, it will disappear. Guaranteed.

I am often thought of as "checked out" or "ditzy" by those who don't understand.

One struggle is having people recall a good experience you shared, and remembering absolutely nothing about it. It makes me feel bad. Or when I am having a good time with friends or family, and it hits me that I will forget it. That can be rough too.

You know, as strange as it seems, I haven't done that. It's an interesting theory.
