I am a 23 year old female. I had a baby a year ago. 2 weeks after having her my life began to drastically changing (none of it having to do with me baby) my vision began to get "weird" it has been very hard for me to describe. I can see but my vision is just like idk far away if that makes sense. It's so extremely hard to explain my vision issues. I've seen a neurologist for it and eye doctor and had multiple tests ran and nothing comes up abnormal. But it has really messed with my life I've found it so hard to enjoy my baby girl. Anyway on to my other symptoms. I can't remember anything I noticed it but just brushed it off as "new mom brain" but I'm almost positive that's no the reason. I lose everything. I'm always so scatter brained. I feel extremely dumb like so dumb and it's really sad. As I'm typing I'm having trouble remembering my symptoms to explain them. Oh my vision issues and "dumb" feeling worsen when I first wake up and at the end of the day around 5:00pm. I've been living this way for a year and it's really starting to get to me I just want to enjoy my baby girl and no doctor can diagnose me. I haven't mentioned dementia to them or my terrible forgetfulness for a long time I thought maybe it just had something to do with my eyes. But my brain is just so bad. No one is going to take me serious I know 23 ? With dementia? People will blame it on new baby. Depression. Stress. Which I have none of that. I'm not depressed or stressed. I also get plenty of sleep.

Hello sgollotte94
Thank you for writing and I'm very sorry you're going through this.
The youngest case of dementia (which was Alzheimer's, I believe) was 27. These cases are incredibly rare.
Have you had a full hormonal work-up of your symptoms? If this is a post-partum issue, then full hormonal testing is needed. Please consult your gynecologist - and when you are feeling well, write a list of your symptoms so you can hand it to your doctor and not forget anything when you get there. Even at our best, we often leave the doctor's office without mentioning something.
