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 have been suffering from similar problem but not that extreme from last one and half year. I hope people here will provide some info that would be useful to me. Doctors are not helpful. My problem started when switched my job in April 2014. Before I was perfectly fine. The office space was not properly ventilated.

Re: A tumor stole every memory I had – what happened when they came back
#41How old are you? Do you have any pains in your abdomen? My case started like yours, I was fine and then suddenly I started getting really tired and felt like I was mentally in a cloud. My work suffered dramatically. I had minor pain in my guts (that occurred sporadically) and usually went away when I went to the bathroom. I chucked this up to constipation. After mentioning this all to my doctor, he recommended me to a Gastroenterologist, who, after a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy, identified ulcerations and inflammation in my bowels. I ended up having a weird case of Crohn's disease. This struck me as odd, because my guts never really were the issue (I was constipated rather than the constant diarrhea), it was mostly my head. But it turns out the Crohn's can lead to deficiencies which can affect your mental state, namely fatigue and cloudiness. After a month or so on steroids (endicort), I started feeling much better, although I am still no where close to where I was before this all started happening. The reason I being up your age, is that Crohn's usually starts in people who are in their twenties.
