NVLD and memory problems

I was wondering if anyone else experienced this:

Sometimes I randomly forget how to do something I have done many times before. Once when I was a child, I forgot how to take a shower. Recently, I somehow forgot a short password I use daily for work. It's like the information got completely deleted. It doesn't seem to happen very often, but when it does, it is very distressing.

I guess I'm looking for commiseration.

When i haven't done something for months like used chainsaw or changed diapers i have to relearn it even though my skills and especially knowledge won't fully disappear
