I have problems with my memory due to using pain medicine. I recognize people very rarily. This includes family members. I cope by telling people up front that I will probably not know them again. When I see someone I think I know, I ask them. I would never want someone to think I snubbed them. It was frightening when I discovered the problem 7 years ago. But being open has helped me be more comfortable with the problem.
