Sitke,
Please don't drive for your safety and others. I can't drive so I understand the frustration.
During my first six months or so I had time loss. Small moments of where am I? How did I get here? I do have memory issues. It was very frightening for me. At one appt they asked me where my daughter was. In my head my answer was I don't have a daughter. Took me five or so seconds to realize I have a daughter. She's 10 yrs old! Scared me to a crying fit. Many other experiences like that.
I don't get that confused now unless I am hitting a bad migraine or way, way overstimulated and I'm nearly at 18 months.
I hope the docs can help you.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
