Grandson..memory loss

I believe there can be many causes, but I have no medical knowledge. It must be very frightening for him and his family, I hope you get some good news soon x

I'm glad he is getting the care he needs and I hope you have answers soon

Farview, what an awful thing to happen. Sending my best wishes to you and your family and praying that your grandson makes a speedy recovery.

I have no medical knowledge…..but just wondering, has he knocked his head, which has caused a sudden imbalance in the brain. It must be so terrifying for him and all of you in the family. I hope there’s some good news soon ..

Such a worrying, frightening time for you and your family Farview. I will keep you in my thoughts. Hoping you will have positive news of your grandson soon.

Some years ago during a stressful time my son had an episode of "Transient Global Amnesia" which lasted about 12 hours! It is one possibility.

A very worrying time for you farview and his poor parents.

I'm so glad your grandson is safe and in hospital.
I'm sure they will get to the bottom of quite soon. ?

Farview, I am so sorry to hear about your dear grandson. I don't know anything about this condition, but I am thinking of you and his parents, sending love and prayers for his speedy recovery. ???

Farview, how terrifying. Sending love to you and praying for revovery

Fairview I’ve heard of Transient Global Amnesia in cases like your grandson’s, as Madgran suggests. Good that he’s seen in hospital where he can be properly diagnosed.

Sending you, your grandson and your family all good wishes far view. I truly hope that you receive satisfactory news very soon.

Thinking of you and your family

How scary for you all farview may he soon fully recover x

Some years ago during a stressful time my son had an episode of "Transient Global Amnesia" which lasted about 12 hours! It is one possibility.

I was going to suggest this. My sister-in-law woke up one morning with it. It didn’t last long and I believe it was related to stress. It was frightening for her but she made a complete recovery.

?? I hope this settles very quickly, as is mentioned above it could well be a transient issue and he will be back to normal soon xx

I'm sorry to hear this, it's very worrying for you all.

I hope it is just what other posters have suggested, Transient Global Amnesia, and that it resolves itself soon.

Best wishes

Transient Global Amnesia?
Himself had an episode once. Scared me to death. He recalled nothing of it. Slowly over an hour or so, his memory came back.
I read afterwards it’s more frightening for any observers.
You can say that again.
Googled it. “A one off event”.
I do hope that’s all this is farview.

So sorry to hear this. I hope you have good news in the morning.

The trouble with having an attack of Transient Global Amnesia is that not all doctors know about it. My husband had an attack last year and we were given a diagnosis of Altzheimers by an A&E doctor. This was very upsetting and also as we have had a close relative with this and know a little about it didn’t seem right. We went to see a very highly qualified Neurologist who gave us the diagnosis of Transient Global Amnesia. In my husband’s case the attack lasted about 8 hours and it still takes longer sometimes for memory to return to normal although he has no memory of the missing 8 hours.

Farview My best friend had transient global amnesia and lost two days she was doing her normal things without having any idea she was doing them She had no knowledge she had been to her doctors until she saw a urine bottle on her kitchen table and rang up to find out why she had it She must have got herself home on the correct bus

Migraine can cause a lot more than headaches my grandson similar age, speech went (temporarily)terrifying but after brain scan it was migraine

How very worrying for all of you. Hope all is well soon.

Madgran77..think that's possibly what happened...he was sent home about 1a.m...had blood tests etc and told to go back if it recurs...heck what a frightening experience for him...I hardly slept a wink....thank you all ?

*farvuew^, what a frightening experience for your grandson and all the family. Pleased to hear that he has been discharged and that it’s nothing more serious.
