Amnesia Support Group
Amnesia (or amnaesia) is a condition in which memory is disturbed. The causes of amnesia are organic or functional. Organic causes include damage to the brain, through trauma or disease, or use of certain (generally sedative) drugs. Functional causes are psychological factors, such as defense mechanisms.

When I was 14 I was in a car crash. I don't remember it fully. I do know I hit my head (top left) and ever since then I've been having migraines and small memory loss and lack of concentration.
I sometimes get migraines every day for a week and then none for a month. My boyfriend tells me things and then a few days later he'll ask me about it and I'll have no idea what he's talking about. I use to have the best memory, I could remember conversations from months ago. I remember things from when I was younger, now it's all blank. I can't concentrate either. I had exams last week and it was terrible. In my English exam I just started crying (no one saw because I had my head down). It's so frustrating.
I've been to my doctor and she said that my migraines weren't caused by the hit on the head and that the other stuff was caused by my depression..
I talked to another doctor about this and he said that I could get a brain scan done if I wanted but it wouldn't show anything.
I've had so many other medical problems I just don't think I could put myself or my family through this. My Grandma caused the crash as well.
I have no idea what to do, I feel like crying I'm just so frustrated with it.
I'm 18 by the way.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
