Note I said "sometimes." I'm not sure how often. If you've had a normal MRI, your hippocampus is probably okay. Memory problems can be "functional" too.

I know what you mean; I feel much the same. A lot of times these days when I'm trying to read something, I end up just staring at the page blankly, reading the same sentence again and again without really being able to put it together.
