I'm glad to hear you don't have any personal experience with retrograde amnesia! On one hand, it does provide a lot of insights which can't be found through other means; on the other hand, it is very painful... possibly more painful than those insights are worth, but I'm not totally certain yet.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a comment on my journals - I welcome answering any questions to help anyone understand memory better through my own experiences having lost Many. It's a question it seems most anyone has had at some point in life... what a person would be like without memories.

And anyway, I like a comment or two just as much as the next person!

Have a great day!
