Hi all. Had some confusion last week (password etc) thought it was OK after. But forgot blocks of time..spent a couple of days in hosp. I didn't remember Trump was our pres.(not a joke)
back out now...feeling shaky...still some confusion...they said general global amnesia (???)

anyone experienced this or know of it....common?......associated with AS?

I think it is more associated to your age?
I hope you're all right.

That jumped into my head. Password loss or a little confusion....I'm not torn up.

But I lost my entire Saturday as well (should have mentioned this...sorry)

I lost 1 1/2 hours and a 1/2 hour (two separate occasions) in my twenties. I don't think it's common to either AS or age (you are only 74, right? that's not that old.) Stress or medication induced? Did they tell you anything else? Sorry about your lost Saturday but glad you got a Trump break :D .

I think you'd right about not common but that's what they could think of at the time. I'll see my reg. Docs pretty soon.

Their idea was: Some minor thing or other AND infection AND maybe AS (???).

".......A Trump break" :D I'm ignoring the entire mess as much as possible :( .

You should take such an episode seriously. It could be a seizure or other neurological problem.

Plenty always floating around here. No doubt a factor.

Your so right PI. That's why my wife wasn't taking anything but "Yes!", on our way to the hospital. :D

You're 100% right; there's no way to know without testing. Thanks.
