@cbsmornings: Katie Couric revealed on Wednesday that she was hospitalized for recent temporary memory loss, called transient global amnesia. Dr. Leah Croll, a neurologist at Maimonides Health, breaks down what to know about the condition: "It's not going to look like regular forgetfulness." #health #memory #katiecouric #amnesia

She knows something on somebody. Now that they said Katie has this she can plead innocence. Yeah, I watch too many movies 😂

moondancer077🇨🇦 :

Both my father and my brother experienced Transient global amnesia. Then, later, they both had strokes. These seem related

BRAVOfilth :

This happened to my mom 3 weeks ago. Lasted about 25-30 hours. Scary as hell.

SandraM :

had it years ago,stayed overnight in the hospital and was ok in the morning.So frightening

Beebs :

I honestly think this happened to me 3 times in one week a few years ago. Id pass out and wake up having no idea what the heck was going on and had to remind myself who I was. It sucks bc the last time of the 3 it happened in a car and I passed out randomly so they took me to jail thinking i was under the influence. My toxicology was clean but in tx that dont mean anything lmao I was in jail for a week before my grandma bailed me out and even though I was there a week it feels like 2 days which is a blessing lol. It took like a year or two before I started feeling like I remembered everything about myself again. It was so weird but I was def under alot of stress. The 2nd time it happened I was on a zoom interview and somehow still got the job when I got out of jail. It was a crazyyy time. It also was early feb 2020 so idk maybe it was a weird covid thing I have no idea and to this day no doctors have ‘figured it out’ I usually dont tell them much bc it sounds so bad like I was on drvgs but I wasnt 😅 if any brain doctors read this lmk what you think it was!

swcort :

I experienced this in February 2024. It was scary for me after my wife shared what I was questioning. She took me to the hospital where they did a Cat scan and MRI. It’s weird that I don’t remember what I was doing for 6 to 7 hours. Afterwards I felt bad for my wife who saw me in this condition! Im so lucky to have her!!

Sarah Jean Patton :

This happened to my dad and he kept saying "where am I? did I have a brain fart?"

katie :

My mom had this. It's super weird. We were worried it was a stroke but nope, just transient amnesia

ryan bourgeoise :

My mom had this, was the craziest day I’ll ever experience.

Melissa O. ❌ :

This literally just happened to me on June 5th. Horrifying! 😩

CherylCarolCrystal :

My grandpa just suffered from this last night, he thought it was 2007 and only lasted for several hours. We thought it was a stroke or seizure

notyomamasyoga1 :

Very likely nervous system overload

Happened to my dad after they started Lipitor. Lasted 3 days then got better.

geeltrip :

i just got out from the hospital atm, this is literally the exact thing that happened to me, so scary 😥😥😥

Tammy :

My daughter has these she wakes up like this. It lasts a few hours then she is back to normal, she doesn’t remember the episodes when she was in about 4th grade she was diagnosed with complicated migraines with amnesia but now they say it’s a seizure disorder she did have one seizure in the emergency department with her last episode. She also has pretty bad anxiety

It happened to me many years ago. It was frightening. But in less then 24 hours, I was fine.

It reminds me of when you wake up the first few nights in a new place and cannot remember where you are or why you’re there
