Hi and thanks for the reply... Some further feedback from my wife, who knows better than I what happens in the time I am 'out of the room'.
She describes the episodes as like dealing with a confused patient, and I must admit, I have gone to the mall at lunch before only for an episode to strike, what happened when the fog lifted was that I was certain that I'd ordered lunch, but I hadn't. It was almost as is my brain had fabricated the memory of ordering. She likens it to talking to an alzheimers patient for10 minutes.
I should, perhaps also say that when I had the original haemorrhage, on the day I came out of hospital, I had a total memory failure, I knew where I was (because it was written on the great ormond street hospital bed sheets), but had no idea why I was there or what had happened. This persisted throughout the day and I would forget things within minutes off being told them. The next morning, having had a good nights sleep, my memory of what had happened was restored, but with all of the bad bits and the memory of the pain permanently erased from my mind. Odd how I can remember the moment my memory loss struck, like it was still there but I had no access to it... I know the brain is complex and I will never understand its workings. But perhaps I really should see a neurologist about these episodes.
Note: An EEG performed at the time of the dizzy spells 10 years ago also yielded nothing other than normal brain activity. I just need some answers.
