You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Let me start out by saying it's not likely that you have SAM since only four people have been confirmed. The technical term for SAM is hyperthymestic syndrome.
There is a movie being made about Brad Williams, the second person to be identified with SAM. It's called "Unforgettable" and you can watch the trailer here.
In addition you should watch Brad vs the internet
If your memory rivals what you see of Brad, if you can remember every day of your life since you were a child, and what happened on each day, you should contact James L McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine.
I suspect that you have a very good memory and remember many things, but perhaps not to this extent. If I'm wrong, at least i know you'll never forget it.
