I had an avm years ago as a child.  All my test said I was fine, yet I had memory loss, speech problems, ect..  Now, as an adult I realize I have always had people helping me, parents husband.  Realizing now that I am on my own, cant focus, cant manage my life, my thinking is not normal.  I make decisions that others would never do and I do it with out thinking about the consequences.  I dont remember things unless I write it down and do it over and over.  I think thats why I failed so much in school.  I could remember for a semester, but the next semester I could not build on what I learned before because I did not remember.  Now, being on my own I cant even deal with basic decisions because I realize someone did it for me.  I have had headaches my entire life, but tests say I am fine.  I think when they fixed me they wired me wrong!  This is difficult to find out..I realize we are dealing with the brain and the after affects.  The surgery was years ago, but I am now in an environment that is making me want to research and understand why my brain does not work like others
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your symptoms suggest that you have cognitive impairment, mainly affecting your memory. It could be related to the surgery on the brain, if it caused damage to the temporal lobes. This can be found out if you have any MRI brain reports. In addition, we should look for unrelated causes, such as depression, vitamin B12 deficiency or thyroid disorders. Consulting a neurologist would be helpful. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
