I still have no memory of anything of those three days. Has this ever happened to any of you?
As a nurse, I feel you should be concerned. Sounds like a possible sm. stroke. Or there are other conditions that could result in your memory loss for that long. The fact that you started with a headache is serious.
It could be an early warning. If you go to an emergency rm. they have to treat you. I lived with my husb's having strokes for yrs. so even one mispronounced word was a signal to me.
