Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 This has been happening to me over the past year. Just recently I had an appointment with my counselor, my husband drove me. I always think about what we talk about later in the day, I could remember being called back, and walking to the car. When we came home, I rested and when I woke I found steaks on the kitchen counter. My husband and I had thought about going to the meet marked, and I thought he went on his own. Evidentially we did that after my one hour counseling appointment. I've been told to keep a journal so we know how often this happens. If I hadn't thought about my appointment, I wouldn't have remembered I checked out for a while, same with the steak. It's frightening. Maybe your son can keep a journal when he realizes time has gotten away from him. Bring it up to his neurologist, they might want to do an EEG to check for seizure activity.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 These could be petit mal seizures.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think this isquite common with Chiari patients. I know I " drift " ---- seems like time manages to just get away from me sometimes. Awfully upsetting when you try to recall " events " , and there is no memory of them at all. Hopefully your son isn't working a job that this would endanger him or others. Black outs  Just wondering if anyone has had black out or loss of time happen to them .
