I lost my memory after brain injury — forgetting even my daughter and boyfriend
Nesh Pillay woke up not knowing her age, the year, who her boyfriend was — or that she had a daughter.Pillay, a mother-of-one from Toronto, suffered from a traumatic brain injury, causing her to lose parts of her memory.
“I reportedly was very confused and didn’t know what was going on,” Pillay explained. “Then over the course of a couple of hours, I lost my memory. By that evening I didn’t know who my partner was. I didn’t know much about my daughter. That’s so difficult.” “Women in general are not believed when it comes to their symptoms,” she said. “Women of color are especially not believed. The doctor was hellbent on tying it to a psychiatric issue.”
