An incredible incident happened in Louisiana, with a 56-year-old woman who fainted, went to the hospital, and when she woke up, she had no memory of the past 30 years and thought she was a teenager in the 80s.

Kim Denicola was 56 years old when she developed a severe headache and blurred vision while at a Bible study group in Baton Rogue, La. in October 2018.

When she woke up in the hospital emergency room, Denicola had no memory of being married with two children.

“I’ve missed a lot of Christmases,” says Denicola, now 60

“It’s unbelievable to me as it probably is to other people,” Denicola added.

When she woke up, Denicola was unaware that computers existed and that the country’s leaders had changed hands many times.

“You know what today is, what year are you?” a nurse asked her “Yes, 1980 I said. “Can you tell me who the president is?” I said, “Yes, Ronald Reagan.”

“TVs are now smart. The TV I remember was a box that leaned against a wall and we had to get up and go change the channel,” she told the agency two months after her medical scare.

Kim Denicola says she lost 30 years of memories after experiencing a severe migraine while attending a Bible study in October 2018.

Denicola was diagnosed with extensive amnesia, officially transient global amnesia, or TGA, but doctors still can’t pinpoint the exact cause even after extensive tests and scans, according to the report.

Five years after her life-changing migraine, the nearly 60-year-old still has no memories.

Doctors fear she will never regain her memory.

Even though she lost years of her memories, Denicola looks forward to every Christmas with her family.

TGA is a “temporary, advanced amnesia with acute onset” that mostly affects middle-aged and older people, according to the National Library of Medicine, with 5.2-10 people in 10,000 suffering annually with the number rising to 23.5- 32/100,000 people over 50 years old.

It often occurs during periods of “particularly vigorous activity, high stress events or intercourse, but may be seen with migraines.”

The memory state is often a temporary event and can reoccur, but death is very rare.

Denicola reads her diaries trying to remember her life, but as she says “it’s like reading about someone else”.

Denicola has rekindled her love for her husband and watches her children grow up through photographs.

While it looks like she’s lost 30 years of her life, Denicola still lives every year to the best of her ability.

“I may have lost my memories, but guess what? We can make new ones,” he says optimistically.
