My brother is in trouble. On Father's Day, he wanted to call my Dad and wish him a happy day -- my Dad died in 1996. Recently, he (brother) was on his way to a location very near where he lives -- and ended up in a town four towns away. On Tuesday night of this week, he called my Mom and asked her "Mom, is my Dad dead? When did he die?" So he is having serious memory issues, both recent and distant memory is involved.
Of course, he's seeing doctors and being tested, and they don't know what's going on with him. He's been tested for Alzheimers, and they tell him he doesn't have it. The doctors also tell him that this is not seizure-related -- my brother is an epileptic, and his seizures are controlled by medication. He's had brain scans and MRI's and no abnormalities are found. They did find a small, non-malignant tumor on the brain, behind his left ear, but told him that is not life-threatening and is not involved in the memory issues. So -- does anyone have any ideas about what could be going on with him? Any help will be appreciated. MA
