Don't have a diagnosis yet but I do have some symptoms like sometimes I think I see things that aren't there and sometimes when I'm driving I forget where I'm going even though it's only for a minute or two. Are these early signs of AD4? just wondering with somebody else's experience I am 54 female.

    Hi jpeacock - I'm sorry you are experiencing that. Your best bet is to get to your primary care doc and tell them all your symptoms. I'm sure no doc, but it may or may not be that. They can test for that plus other issues that can seem like it, such as thyroid, lyme disease, and a myriad of other things that can mimic.

    Even a vitamin B12 deficiency can cause that, so yeah, I agree with @SusanB-dil - talk to your primary care physician about it and see what they have to say.
