A woman who has baffled doctors with her ability to remember every detail of 
  every day has broken her anonymity to speak of her condition.
</H2>
<DIV class="twothirds">
<P>
Jill Price, 42, can remember every part of her life since she was 14 but 
  considers her ability a curse as she cannot switch off.
</p> <P>
She described her life as like a split-screen television, with one side 
  showing what she is doing in the present, and the other showing the memories 
  which she cannot hold back. 
</p> <P>
Every detail about every day since 1980 - what time she got up, who she met, 
  what she did, even what she ate - is locked in her brain and can be released 
  to come flooding back by common triggers like songs, smells or place names.</P></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/1940420/The-woman-who-can-remember-everything.html">
Her condition is so rare that scientists had to coin a term for her condition 
  - hyperthymestic syndrome from the Greek thymesis, for remembering, and 
  hyper, meaning well above normal.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/54F97054-CCDB-4D72-AEED-41AB8D42169B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
