You Ever Get Really Constipated And Forget 10 Years Of Your Life?
A constipated woman lost more than 10 years of memories after straining too hard on the toilet, it is claimed. The anonymous woman had a ‘mental blackout’ because of constipation, according to reports from Hong Kong.
The China Post claims the woman forgot a decade of her life for an eight-hour period after struggling on the toilet. Her memory returned after an overnight stay in hospital, although she still cannot remember the eight hours after her visit to the lavatory.
Neurologist Dr Peng Jiaxiong told reporters that the woman suffered from ‘transient global amnesia’, a mysterious condition resulting in sudden memory loss. Dr Sarah Jarvis told The Sun : “In theory, it is possible to explain someone losing their memory as a result of excessive straining at the toilet.
I don’t think pooping is ever going to be the same for me. First of all, apparently girls poop? That sounds incorrect. Maybe she was so constipated because she was trying to do something that was impossible? That certainly is on the table. Second of all, anytime I have to poop and I’m having a hard time I’m going to instantly think of this story. Is it really worth straining that hard if you’re possibly going to forget TEN YEARS of your life?
Now her memory did come back eventually, but that eight hours had to be the scariest moment of her life. Just because she was taking a shit! If you take eight years out of my life that wipes out working at Barstool, what Barstool is, and my college life. That means I’d remember my life for the shittiest parts (pun intended). I’m absolutely terrified.
