Oops - I lost a whole day and found myself in hospital!

Oh grannyactivist
You are going through such a tough time at the moment.
Sending you love

No similar experience, but sending all best wishes for a speedy recovery. Look after yourself and take it easy for a while?

No experience - but would like to send kindest thoughts

Oh Grannyaxtivist, please start taking care of YOU, your important, xx

Sorry to read this - what a shock. Take care and rest

So sorry to read this - someone's grandson on another forum recently experienced it too. Take care.

Sit back and let them look after you.

My best friend lost a whole 24 hours with no memory at all she had been to the doctors (found a sample bottle on her kitchen table) but had no knowledge of having seen a doctor or getting herself home on two buses, she had eaten a meal and locked up, but not the back door or conservatory which she normally did before going to bed and she hadn’t fed her hedgehog She went to bed and woke up the next day with no memory of the day before at all, before seeing the specimen bottle, she rang the doctors to see why she had it and they made her a new appointment
When she saw (apparently) the same doctor he did a memory test and said well that’s much better than yesterdays !!

Anyway she needed no treatment and has had nothing since then

Grannyactivist you are making light of it, but it must have been quite a shock. Your body and mind are saying "rest". Take care of yourself ?

I have no suggestions, but just wanted to wish you the best, take care, enjoy being looked after, for once. Resistance is futile! Enjoy a and a

What a shock this has been GA, I send my best wishes for a full recovery. Make sure you get plenty of rest.

Best wishes ? Glad you have family around you - and still your sense of humour.

Someone somewhere is trying to tell you something! A message to be heeded I would suggest.

This happened to my friends Mum a few years ago and although a very frightening experience, she has had nothing at all since they also put stress as the reason. You HAVE had lots of stress. Your body is telling you something xx

Good grief grannyactivist. Thank goodness you're OK now make sure that you take proper care of yourself.

I know from a friend how discombobulated this is, ga. But it is telling you something - so please listen! Huge, but very gentle, (((hugs)))

Sounds very alarming and stress can trigger all kinds of reactions.

Take of yourself and REST.

Thankfully, according to my GP it is something that you only get once. So once you recover grannyactivist it shouldn't happen again.

In my case,my GTA only lasted about 30 minutes and I came to driving onto the M40 in a car on its last few teaspoonfuls of petrol. I had been driving to the petrol station, by then many miles away when it happened. Thankfully it wasn't far to the next exit and I was able to come off and find a petrol station there and then drive home again.

A friend had a one day one like yours GrannyActivist. He didn't end up in hospital but in fact chaired a Day School. We had noticed that he was a bit subdued, he is usually quite assertive and came to at home in the evening, with no memory of anything since the early morning.

This happened to DH a few years ago and the same to a friend of ours. Both were fine the next day with no recurrences. DH never got back those few hours of lost memory. It was more frightening for me at the time than it was for him.

My sister-in-law had a similar experience a few years ago. She woke up one morning and couldn't work out where she was, what day it was etc. She found it a very scary experience and was reassured somewhat when she found there was an explanation for what had happened to her. Thankfully it never happened to her again.

Yes DH has suffered this. Fortunately only twice and for about 30 minutes each time. It was terrifying to witness, I thought he’d had a stroke. He didn’t get back those minutes but it hasn’t happened for a long time now.

Crikey, these occurences sound terrifying.

Grannyactivist, sorry to hear of that nasty experience you had. Glad to hear that your DH is treating you with kid gloves, make the most of it and get better ASAP.
It has not happened to me, but last Monday I had the oddest feeling of the world slipping me by. It lasted only a minute or so, but was a horrible feeling.
