I would say double check on the brain scan, something is wrong somewhere. As far as PTSD she is showing some very classic symptoms. And yes you can see it, the brain will change, there is a pic around here, I will try to find it (no promises) but I think it is in the Information section.

Now the way you describe the memory I understand better and that is not PTSD, it has to be something else I would think at play.

Nightmares and flashbacks are very hard to talk about and since she keeps hitting a "reset" button so to speak it may be very hard to get her where she can talk about it as it takes time.

We are as open as we are because we hit the bottom and we know what we have to do to try and recover, only so many years you can hold it down and you finally get that to get better you have to go through it again. Again with her "reset" I don't know how that is possible. A truly heartbreaking senerio.

Any way any of the drugs she is on doing the memory in? Rare side effects are rare but happen. I would suggest get her dope and find out as much as you can on it and the combinations. Some drugs mixed can have side effects one standing alone won't. I am just trying to think of all possiblities with the memory including brain damage.

If you want to list her meds we can look them up for you and see if any combinations are not good. You would be surprised at what a doc will give even with clear contradictions to be used together. And some doses can be too high causing memory issues. I had that pleasure first hand, just not to the extent of your wife. I knew I was forgetting and went to a new doctor to fix it.

I wish we could do more but we are here to help any way we are able.
