I've seen on various websites that Agatha Christie suffered from epilepsy, but I've no idea whether this is accurate or not? Has anyone else heard the same or indeed if there is any truth in it?

The amnesia is a subject of much speculation and there's certain points that suggest she didn't actually have it. A person with it wouldn't be able to go dancing the charlstan to a live band, like AC did at the heath spa...

No one knows and it's part of the great mystery.

I haven't read her biography but I have seen countless documentaries about he life and none mentioned epillepsy! That was after the disappearence though the amnesia?

Well this website says she did but maybe they got the information from a website that's information is always wrong! Like wiki!
