This page is dedicated to Karen Huffine Lee of Travelers Rest, SC. She was born in 1981and currently has undiagnosed Hyperthymesia, discovered when she was thirty four years of age. She remembers everything about her life back to the age of five. Since everyone thinks this news with Trump is so detrimental, I've decided to share a few minutes in the day of the life of living with Hyperthymesia, and in preparation for writing the autobiography. You are getting pulled over, blue lights flashing, that siren allerting everyone in a half mile something isn't right. Your heart begins to race, your emotions begin to take control. Fight or flight kicks in but you can't do either in today's society. As the officer walks up to your car, gun drawn, you start to be overwhelmed with fear..... The rest of the story really doesn't matter, her court case is not until 02/07/2017. But having hyperthymesia like my wife does, her perception of past events plays an entirely different role than for most of us. Several years from now we are cleaning out our closet, just doing some spring cleaning. The ticket the police gave us falls out of an old folder we took to court. Most of us instantly get a little rush, maybe irritated, and ponder a minute to recollect all the events that took place five years earlier. Over the next few hours we remember how that effected our insurance, maybe look back at the ticket to see the officers name and how much the fine was. Here's where our life is different from most. For my wife, the second that ticket hits her keys, or I mention it years later, that trigger has serious repercussions. For her its as if that day she was wearing a servaillance camera, full high definition, best you can buy. Instantly, spontaneously, and forcefully the events replay, overlapping the real world Infront on her. This is a new type of video, more like a futuristic Virtual Reality, where you get to feel the cold of the ground again when the police had you sit on the ground in fourty degree weather for an hour. You begin to cough because it's like your actually breathing in the cold air mixed with all the police car fumes until that headache you experienced that day is actually the same intensity again. We remember the emotional trauma, but only experience it at a percentage of the original intensity, usually degrading as time goes by. My wife will continue to experience it at its fullest capacity years from now. It can be the greatest gift in life as well. If our memories are who make us, and my testing is accurate, her wisdom is beyond anyone I've ever seen. I get to experience stories of our past......our kids, our Love, all of it unaltered and complete. Thanks for your time and God bless!

Currently we are reasearching Neuroscience in preparation for writing my wifes biography. We hope to contribute significantly to research in this area(HSAM). Hyperthymestic individuals have great potential and my profile will contain complex personality traits I've observed due to having observation access 24/7. Find our Facebook page on Eidetic memory for information we are collecting, and testing scores. We will update this as the year progresses.

God bless

Forgetting is the default, Remembering is the exception...
