People with Retrograde Amnesia can still function day to day basis due to still being able to retain long term memories (procedural, how tos, etc), but are generally unable to recover short term ones (people's faces, names, places they once visited, specific events in their lives, etc). Back then, short term memory recovery might be more challenging due to lack of mass documentation of someone's life, but nowadays it is easier to show the amnesiac the picture taken 2 weeks to 12 years before the disaster. Would they still be troubled even with their entire lives of the last decade being documented in their devices or the internet?

Why is the answer to this card yes?
anterograde amnesia is when you can not form new memories.
Is the person forming subconscious memories?

Edit: They're suspecting something called Transient Epileptic Amnesia, they think he might have had some sort of seizure. They're going to run some tests tomorrow
Edit 2: He got discharged with the diagnosis of Transient Global Amnesia brought on most likely by stress
Update as of 4 hours ago(from posting): he's regained his memory(After roughly 24 hours of amnesia) after getting a vitamin IV solution, but the doctors are still unsure what caused it. They're going to be keeping him at the hospital for 3-4 more days for more tests and monitoring
So my father is in the hospital right now(for the last 26 hours now), they've ran four blood tests, a head and chest ct scan, and all the tests have came back with nothing unusual
Heres the story:
The first thing I noticed that was off was that He didnt remember anything him and I talked about in the last 2-3 months. We've been talking about this new car a friend wants to give us(because they're in the hospital), but he had no clue what I was talking about when I brought it up again, and says he didnt know his friend was in the hospital(hes been visiting his friend for 2 months now almost 2 times a week).
I got a bit worried to I decided to see if he could remember a significant event he was looking forward to for over a year, seeing his daughter for the first time in over a year. He said he didn't remember.
This sent alarm bells off as shes the most important person in his life, and he didn't remember that he had visited her just 3 days prior. He eventually said he cant even remember coming home from work the day before or even waking up that morning(which was 2 hours ago at that point)
The confusing thing is that he seems to remember stuff from like 4-5+ months ago, but not within the last 3 or so months. But he also remembers very random stuff within those three months, Like he remembers he told his boss that he'd clean his house(hes a house cleaner), He remembers that he got vaccinated 2 months ago but didn't remember I got vaccinated 1 week ago. But none of the significant events I said above.
If anyone has any Ideas while I wait to hear back from the doctors at the hospital, I'd like to hear them. Im really concerned for him.
Here are his details:
- 63 years old
- Around 5'5 - 5'6
- Around 130lbs(cant remember the exact weight, its around there)
- Male
- He has Lupus, Osteoporosis and COPD
- **I forget all medications he take
In other words, the patient experiences all the agonizing pain from the surgery while being on muscle relaxants for paralysis and is fully awake. However, they forget the surgery afterwards so it feels like it never happened. I imagine that would be fairly cruel. Will there be any effects on the patient after the surgery? Can it potentially cause mental illness, say PTSD-like or depressive symptoms?
I personally had retrograde amnesia after sedation and didn't remember what others told me I acted like during it. I read a disturbing article below. It describes patients having terrible memories from sedation and doctors ignoring their distress thinking they should forget anyways. https://www.advisory.com/en/daily-briefing/2019/02/01/conscious-sedation
Not sure if this was a thing already but yesterday and today while studying I noticed some super obvious patterns that once u notice you will never mix up anterograde vs retrograde amnesia and noncompetitive vs uncompetitive inhibitors which imo especially inhibitors have killed me so hard and wasted so much time on them
Amnesia: interference types
~Retrograde = retro = retrieval, you struggle to retrieve memories (already encoded)
~Anterograde = anter = anterior, front, you struggle to make new memories in front of your old ones
Inhibitors:
~uncompetitive = un (read as uni) = United, this inhibitor leaves the substrate and enzyme United (locks / unites them together)
Got my mcat January 25th, hopefully these can help you guys too. GL
It is as says above. In option one, you can go back in time and live through events again but your choices will not ultimately make much of a change. Option two means that you forget a large portion of what has happened in your life and the condition is irreversible.
To preface, I'm not a believer in the paranormal, or at least I think there's always a logical explanation. But I do enjoy reading these posts.
So, when I was around 3-4 I don't remember exactly, I woke up and couldn't remember anything before that moment (at least not consciously). I don't think this was a dream, I remember dreams from back then, most were recurring and were clearly not reality. But this felt real, it's literally one of my longest continuous memories from back then, most others that I know are real are more like living images. I'm not saying it definitively wasn't a dream though.
When it happened, I remember waking up in a room I know for a fact was my actual room in that house, and thinking that I had no idea where I was. I wasn't afraid, though, so I walked down the stair to the main level where I found my mom, and I remember asking her who she was, but also kind of knowing? like I knew she was a safe person, but I didn't recognize her face (but it was her face). I remember doing the same with my older brother, and I remember kind of just giving in to my situation and playing along. The thing is, I really don't have any memories before this, which makes sense for the age, some people remember things from earlier or later as a first memory. It's just so weird because I know I was super confused at everything I was seeing, everything was unfamiliar. Every time I think back to that house (I've moved a lot over the years) I see what I saw in that memory because it's the clearest memory I have of that house. I even sort of remember going to bed that night, but after the initial encounter with my mom and my brother, I don't have specific images in my mind, kind of more like remnants of memories.
I never brought it up when I was younger, I think I forgot about it for a while, but in my early teens I started thinking about it again. This part is only important to say because I remember when I was younger like in the year or so after it happened, I know I would think about it from time to time, so it isn't just something I'm realizing as weird now because the memory changed. I keep refreshing the memory in my mind (like over the years) and it's always the same. I have never had a dream like that since, if it was a dream.
When I think of dreams I had back then, and even most dreams I have now, they were all in third person. I even had one of those weird dreams where a young kid, I was 4, effortlessly glided down a set of stairs headfirst and

My friend played GW2 about 5 or 6 years ago quite heavily before her car accident.
Due to the accident, she now has a real case of retrograde Amnesia (there is no "remembering" like in movies). So while she can remember playing GW2, she cannot remember her account name, character names, or even the email address she used to make the account (she has tried the few she can remember).
She did buy the game and I am pretty sure she made gem store transactions back then (as that's always been her personality), but I am making this post to see if the community thinks there is even a snowball's chance in hell that Arenanet could help her find and recover her account.
If she can recover it, she'd be willing to play with me -- but she is unwilling to start over either from a full new account or even an 80 boosted account.
For anyone that doesn’t know what it is,
“When you have retrograde amnesia, you lose existing, previously made memories. This type of amnesia tends to affect recently formed memories first. Older memories, such as memories from childhood, are usually affected more slowly. Diseases such as dementia cause gradual retrograde amnesia.” -healthline
I would never even consider doing this it’s purely hypocritical and for a book I’m writing
How are you meant to happy when you know you are responsible for someone’s pain. Someone’s anguish and distrust?
I wish I didn’t know what it felt like to love you, to miss you, to realise that you thought you had been in love before but this was on another level.
I think that’s what scared me, to have spent so many years with someone else but not feel one tenth of what I felt with you in such a short space of time! I knew it was special after our first weekend together. It blew my mind.
You were all I could ever think of, but I did it with a smile on my face, now you are still all I can think of, but I do it with palpitations in my chest and tears in my eyes.
I wish I didn’t know how it felt to love you, because I know what I have lost.
Hello, I try not to spam this place too often to promote this podcast, but just wanted to give an update on our progress for those that may be interested in hopping on board.
Our podcast is a bookclub-style retrospective on Xenogears where we discuss the game in extreme detail. We're deep into Disc 2 and we've had a terrific time unpacking and analyzing the story beat by beat. In October, we'll culminate our series with our final episode on the epilogue of the game in episode 55. Then...we're doing the same thing for Chrono Cross.
You can find the podcast on Apple, Spotify, or whatever other platform you get your podcasts.
In April of 2016, I started to have problems with my memory. After a few days of having trouble remembering stuff, I suddenly just lost it over night. Still had all my procedural memory, and didn't lose language skills, but everything about who I was... Gone.
Few quick notes: got a CT scan, nothing out of the ordinary. Went to therapy to see if it's psychological, but I'm pretty stable mentally. Yes, some memories have returned, but almost entirely without context, which is so much worse than I can explain. Also, they feel like someone took someone's memories and shoved them in my head. Old photos are the worst - how would you like it if someone asked you about a photo you were in which, to your knowledge, never happened? Hate it. Oh, and my ex used this to her advantage when it happened.
Is freaking amazing. Listening to the guys talking about the game, other games, anime... It's kinda bittersweet because I would've given anything to have friends to share this game with in high school and they even discuss that a few times. The discussion and walk through is so interesting and it's making me fall in love with this game all over again. They were the same age as me when the game came out and it's so cool how similar their experiences and interests were to mine.
I'm on episode 14 or 15 and listen to it every day on my way to and from work.
Retrograde Amnesia, a JRPG deep dive podcast, has launched its second season, this time covering Chrono Cross. We're exploring the story, mechanics, music, and of course, the connections to Chrono Trigger. For those unfamiliar, we'll re-introduce you to the format in the first CC episode. Our first season was a similar deep dive into Xenogears.

...or where ever you listen to podcasts.
Do any Retro AM fans know of similar style podcasts (book club style scene by scene overview, with thoughtful analysis)? It's my favorite, and I'm looking for similar ones. I've listed some others I enjoy below. Also, with their adverts of the network, I figure I'll check that for similar ones. I'm into VNs, LNs, anime, VGs, manga, and 40k.
- The Independent Characters: Unlike the other two in this short list, this one is not story oriented. But I always need to plug this excellent podcast. Warhammer 40k, where they discuss their hobby efforts, and an episode topic.
- After Ullanor: Although this one folded into Radio 40k, which makes it hard to sort for, it's the closest to Retro AM from what I've found. They cover the Horus Heresy book series, with extensive chapter scene by scene recaps, and discussion on the bigger picture of things. It remains spoiler free within the progress of the podcast, though they do make connections to early books as they reach the spoiler later on. Very well researched and good, and a shame they have a slow pace (and they're hard to find now).
- Total Party Thrill: Similar to Retro, but the stories they recap are there extensive Eberron home game, followed by a discussion on an episode RPG topic.
Harry drank a ton of alcohol and did speed during his stay at the Whirlings, but is it actually possible to lose your memory that way?
Hello! Someone shared our podcast (Retrograde Amnesia) on here a while back but I wanted to check back in to let everyone know that we're still going strong. Many of our listeners came from that initial post. The podcast is a linear, comprehensive discussion of Xenogears as we replay it for the first time in decades.
It's been a tremendous experience engaging with the community and learning so many things that we've forgotten over the years. We've gone 23 episodes, which has taken us right up to the Ethos HQ portion of the game -- this means it will probably take us 50+ episodes to get through the whole game.
Anyway, if you haven't had a chance to check it out, you can find it on all major podcast services, but here's some links to the big ones:
Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/retrograde-amnesia-comphresenive-jrpg-analysis/id1480854950
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uwSe64foe0nvhzS2JKunT
Kind of like giving them a second chance, a restart button. How much do you think everything is going to depend on nature and nurture? Is it possible for someone to be inherently evil?
Will check back when I wake up.
