I actually had a similar incident with memory loss some years ago. It wasn't because of a tumor but from severe central sleep apnea, that as near as I've ever been able to figure out had been going on for about a decade and was taking a significant toll on my body and brain. The way he describes the memories coming back to him is much more eloquently put than I've ever been able to manage. I hadn't hit a point where…
I'm wondering if there were inconsistencies / mix ups across memories or if they all came back as they actually happened. Right now he's assuming the flashbacks actually happened just as he is seeing them (and correlating with people to confirm), but I'm curious to see if his brain made up or mixed up memories.
I think it's a complete script for an oscar-level movie and I would love to watch it.

It's interesting that both you and the author mention recalling things and simultaneously knowing that you hadn't recalled them before. When you remember something, it rarely brings to mind the specific situation in which you last remembered that thing. But apparently, somehow, you remember that you have remembered it at some point, enough to be startled when you haven't!

Probably in a normal functioning person they go lock step so you don't notice how they are different. But if your processes are out of sync, it could explain how they arrived at their feelings.

In my case it was a lot of the memories from things in college, things I knew I didn't remember from classes and things. A few things from the jobs I worked around that time too. I could usually tell it was something I couldn't remember before simply because it didn't fit anywhere for a while, just the middle or end of something that happened and didn't connect anywhere. Sometimes it made me feel like I was going a b…

Woah this shows how sleep plays a role in organizing memory, if your condition was restricted to sleeping. Interestingly the effect was similar to the other guy (memories fine but indexes missing). Did you contact any researcher/anyone contact you?

Those are just some articles from this past year but the specialist that I saw for sleep problems when this was all diagnosed wasn't surprised at some of the memory issues I had been having given how severe it was; O2 saturation was dropping down to around 80% for a large portion of the night, and never above 90%. I was also having 0-30 seconds of REM sleep a night from what I was told in the sleep study. Both the terrible O2 and lack of REM sleep account for what was likely happening to my memory. Sleep is definitely a huge deal when it comes to memory.
