However, he had trouble remembering things from roughly a decade preceding the surgery. He even remembered the Wall Street Crash of 1929. He knew his name and those of his family.
Though the surgery was a success as far as controlling the epilepsy went, Molaison was left with profound amnesia. The seizures continued until 1953, when he was offered an experimental procedure which would remove parts of the left temporal lobe. His seizures increased in severity, and by the time he was 16, he was suffering major seizures daily. as he was referred to in medical journals, had suffered epileptic seizures since the age of ten, possibly as a result of being run over by a bicycle at age seven. I definitely recommend getting a professional opinion, especially if something like it happens again.Born in 1926, Henry Molaison, or H.M. Still, memory loss while generally cognizant sounds like it could be something severe. I'm glad I happened to be alone or I might have actually hurt someone, but I think that's the only actually dangerous delusion I've had like that. That belief lasted about 2 minutes as I laid in and then got out of bed, wondering what I was going to do since no one was around to kill. I thought that if you wake up and an alarm is going off, what you do is you kill another human being and then it stops and you move on with your day. I once woke up to my alarm clock and was internally convinced that the way to turn off an alarm clock is to kill someone. Sleep paralysis is shit, when you wake up and you're still sort of dreaming so you can't move or function, but what's even WORSE than that is when you wake up, you're still dreaming, and the paralysis wore off or never kicked in so you can get up and do whatever while dreaming for a couple minutes. I've had some pretty fucked up waking experiences. Has this ever happened to anyone else before? I've had times where I've awoken and not remember what day it is or if I had to go to work or not, but never literally not knowing who I was.
I then calmed down, went back to sleep and was perfectly fine when I got up. I was in bed with my girlfriend a few hours before getting up to go to work. I pushed my girlfriend over and she woke up and she said I had this absolutely terrified look on my face. For a good 10-15 seconds, but felt like 10-15 minutes, I had NO memory or identity. But I wake up and I don't know who I am, who's in bed with me, where I'm at or what's going on. It was about 3 a.m., and I woke up, as I usually do when I lay on one side too long and my arm goes to sleep. But this morning, I freaked myself the fuck out. I've had some extensive dental work last week, so I've been chalking it up to my body recovering. I sleep, but often wake up tired and just beaten down. I haven't been sleeping really well lately.
