The 56-year-old believes she wakes up as a teenager in her 80s.
An incredible, overwhelming story.
In October 2018, Kim Denicola, a resident of the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana (USA), was hospitalized: she suffered from headaches and blurred vision, which worsened during a session with his Bible reading group. A migraine that will change her life, but she doesn't know that yet.
“Ronald Reagan”
When she wakes up in the hospital, Kim actually doesn't remember anything. And not just since his hospital stay: as if the last 30 years had been erased from his memory. According to the nurses' statements, Kim claims to be a teenager in her 80s. When asked “Who is the President of the United States?” she answers: “Ronald Reagan”!
Five years after she was struck by that violent bout of amnesia, Kim shares her experience on local television station WAFB, a CBS affiliate. And the memory is still not there. “I lost a lot of Christmas,” she admits. And she definitely won't find them again.
According to the New York Post, doctors are actually quite pessimistic about the fact that she will one day be able to regain her memories. But she’s okay with it: “Maybe I lost my memory, but you know what? We can create new memories.”
