Can an abnormal hippocampus cause short term memory?
human
Hello, I was told by a Neurologist back in the 70 s that I had a slight abnormality in my Hippocampus, and He also, was treating me for Migraine which I was known to have ever since I was 7 yrs of age. I was put on Dilantin, as a child, this Doctor, put me on Topamax, which seemed to help for years, 120mg for years until the year 2001 , and I am progressively suffering, and getting worse with boughts of Short term Memory Loss. I also Suffer from PTSD. I have been treated from a Psych. standpoint, however, I am thinking, and looking back to what was told to me years ago about the slight abnormality in my Hippocampus, and wondering if over the years it is just getting worse, I am on the same dose of Topamax, and my Short-term Memory does get worse related to my PTSD issues around my Trauma Period when my Trauma occured, which is around the Holidays, but this year my Short Term Memory issues are lasting way into August, and aren t clearing as usual. Any thoughts on this? I also thought it could be some other things, but what do you think? Are there any meds that can help? Am I headed truthfully for Alzheimers/Dementia should I increase the Topamax?
