Woman suffering from a rare condition has to learn her husband divorced her every single day



If Hollywood has taught us anything, it’s that memory loss can be both hilarious and romantic. In romcom 50 First Dates, Adam Sandler has to win the affections of Drew Barrymore, despite the fact she forgets having ever met him every single night. He eventually overcomes this hurdle, because of course he does, and they live happily ever after; a fairytale ending if ever there was one. Real life, sadly, is short on fairytales.
Veronika, a beautiful 29-year-old woman, should be in the prime of her life. Instead, she cries herself to sleep every night, only to wake up the following morning with no memory of any of it happening. She suffers from a rare condition that causes short term memory loss, which might have caused her husband to divorce her. It also causes her to forget that fact, leaving her mom to break the terrible news, every single day.

Imagine living in the real-life version of the movie Memento, whose hero suffers from short term memory loss that hits him about every five minutes. Fiction? This is cold, hard reality for 29-year-old Veronika Mescheryakova, who lives in Kazan, Russia.

Veronika suffers from a rare degenerative disease named porphyria, which may cause anything from severe pains to breathing problems or – in her case – memory loss. What makes her story even more heartbreaking, however, is that she does not remember her husband walking out on her months ago – and has to be told he won’t be coming home every single day.
