Hi Doctor How Are You ? I Am Doing Fine
Question: Hi Doctor
How are you ? I am doing fine now .I have been healing a bit better with time doctor .
I had recently emailed you regarding my case with head blows by my husband in a case of domestic violence and i had followed it up with you regarding my case . He slapped me on cheeks 15 times with a initial case of assault two weeks before that too . This was the issue i had reported with a miscarriage caused through electric shock that travelled to uterus area .
Exactly four weeks back i had reported a case of diarrohea to my general Physician and im unsure whether i had the stool in diarrohea form from the time before or i had it only after the electric shock in the forehead . I told my genreal physician that i felt something dripping in my forehead and after that i had to use the restroom to pass out stools like diarrohea passing out stool 5 times in a day with it unable to eat anything i passed it out as diarrohea and this healed only a week back and now that my stools are normal .
The doctor asked me to go for a Mri Scan and the reports turned out to be normal . I have been going to a therapist so far and i have recovered a lot from my initial status .
I spoke to my sister who is a doctor and she told me she has gone through this phase with health and my father and mother have also encountered this . So can it be genetic ? They all underwent this in different stages in their life but me and my sister faced this right around 30 +s . Her case was a nervous issue she feels with postpartum depression and nerve pain in neck . I was physically abused in that month by my husband and i have no clue what triggered electric shocks .can my case also be a nervous issue with blows to my face as slaps ?
My case being now that i had been having chillness in my forehead and a tingling sensation in the area where i had the electric shock in the center of the forehead and some itchy sensation till the nasal area . I have been feeling that chillness and the sensations like something happening in my forehead always there. As its like something heavy or moving a kind of heaviness sensation at various points in the forehead area mostly at the top of forehead . The electric shock that originated was from the center of the forehead . I had eye pain like in nerves also there and i do not use phone much since im unable to see much of light with sensitivity to laptop screens and phone screens .
Im leaving to XXXXXXX this weekend and is there any care i have to take before travelling . i want to know about how to proceed my case . i would like to find out why i had electric shocks and what is happening in my forehead . I have some chest pain at times in the center region and i feel whenever i feel anxious also there is a lot of contraction there .
since it is now that i have found out that my family members also had this . I would like to know doctor on how to proceed with my case .
i have felt trauma since it happened when i was pregnant and then electric shock with miscarriage and im unsure as it has taken my confidence away with this incident . Can you let me know what is the best solution in my case Doctor . I just want to recover from my health concerns i have .
Thank you Doctor

Brief Answer:
How are you dear lady? So good to hear you feel a little better
Detailed Answer:
It's so good to SEE your voice again! HA! That'll make you think for a minute...perhaps takes away the electrical shock sensations from the face and head? :)
Yes, of course, I remember your case and your situation. Tell now, have you sought PROFESSIONAL help in terms of the domestic abuse situation you've described and which I can only imagine has placed you under enormous stress or strain? I'm getting the impression that the answer is "probably not"....because I'm sure you would've written about your counselor or whomever you confided in about this situation.....what you talked about, what alternatives you may have in order to stop this behavior on your husband's part....am I right?
I understand you saw your general physician about the diarrheic episode. I also read that your sister is a doctor and gave you some advice about the diarrhea telling you that others in your immediate family (meaning 1st degree relatives) have had the same type of problems in the past. Of course, at first glance one might say that something GENETIC could be afoot....but also we cannot forget that since you've been so much stress and anxiety from what's going on that you could be having very common GI system reactions which can include things such as diarrhea, stomach cramping and pain, loss of appetite, loss of weight, loss of energy and drive, changes in odors or tastes. Many things can happen to a person's system under such conditions. And of course, in the same way this type of stressful situation you are in that I believe definitely contributes at least to SOME OF YOUR SYMPTOMS can happen in others within the same family such as your sister, your mother, and others. Is there a possibility that any of your relatives are also or have been in similar stressful situations, if not of domestic type then, work, social, or perhaps knowing and feeling the stress that others in their family are suffering?
Now please do not misinterpret my thoughts on these points because I don't know your family and don't wish to presume but all I'm saying the domestic stress, violence, abuse, and so forth are rarely isolated to one and only 1 person in a family. These things occur because of perpetual behaviors and habits that people get into or find themselves and then, cannot extract or defend from.....it is a common story that happens to everyone all over the world. And as a doctor I hear these sorts of stories frequently in those suffering physical symptoms that are vague, uncomfortable, distressing, and disabling.
So, in your case your doctor asked for an MRI of the brain which you got....very good....I'm not sure he/she asked for the study having to do with your diarrhea but at least the MRI is a start to look at the possibility of something in the brain. Thank you also for providing the images. Unfortunately, the attached images are extremely small when I open the files on my screen and I really can't see detail very well, however, more than that...you should know that the proper way for a neurologist (or any doctor for that matter) to read a study such as MRI, a CT scan, or any other diagnostic study....is to look at ALL IMAGES, ALL RESULTS, etc. that were acquired during the testing process. Make sense?
People frequently somehow believe that there are only a few images that truly IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE to interpret but the truth is....nobody would spend the time or the resources acquiring hundreds and hundreds of images and sequences if there weren't good reasons and especially if the only pictures worth looking at are the ones that look either the "prettiest" or the ones that have the most detail that is easy to read! I'm sure you can appreciate that perspective. And so I try and educate my patients on bringing me the CD ROM so that we can read the ENTIRE STUDY together and make sense out of things. Unfortunately, on this platform you are not able to upload each and every image nor can you load them in the proper sequences so they can be compared to one another.
The next best thing therefore, is to simply avoid spending your valuable time putting many images up since I will wager you spent quite a bit of time just putting those 10 images up and just upload the radiographic read or report. I will happy to read the report which I will also guess based on your symptoms will not show anything particularly impressive or "bad" if you will.
Still you have these electric like sensations or the feeling of something (water maybe?) running down your forehead or a cold sensation? These are referred to as NEUROPATHIES and they can also come about for deficiencies in certain substances that we all need to have sufficient quantities for normal functioning.
Therefore, I will suggest you get tested for the following labs using blood samples if not already done: Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Folate, TSH, FT4, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin D. A significant deficiency in one of these could give you the symptoms you're describing. Therefore, I suggest your doctor consider these tests. Not only that....if you do get those done feel free to forward since it is known that different specialists and physicians have slightly different standards of what they consider "normal" or "adequate" in their patients. And so to one physician while a B12 level of 30 may appear to be within laboratory normal ranges a neurologist seeing a patient for memory problems or even a neuropathy of recent onset may see this same Vit. B12 level of 30 as something that could definitely be problematic...I would....and so I would suggest that patient go on a supplemental or replacement program IF THEY HAD SYMPTOMS that correlated to some abnormal neurological functioning. Make sense?
And so those tests could be very revealing.
Of course, those tests could come out quite normal or unremarkable and then, you might ask, "Well, what now?" My answer would be, depends....depends on how your family situation with your husband and so forth goes forward. If you continue to have the same stressful and anxiety provoking encounters then, I would definitely recommend that you and especially HE receive counseling. I realize that getting him to join you or even go to someone alone may be a difficult proposition...it always is....but that would clearly be something that would have to be done if you were to have any chance of getting out from under these feelings you are describing.
In the mean time, if there are more diarrheic spells I'm sure your sister will agree that if the loose stools could be captured and taken in for analysis that in general that is the approach we would use to make sure there was not a GI infection that could be causing such problems. Then, there would be the analysis of your DIET to see if removing things such as GLUTEN or lactose could help, etc. Of course, by then, you'd probably be in the ends of a gastroenterologist who may suggesting other tests in order to try and figure out if any physiological or anatomical problems could exist (even genetic if the doc is GOOD! LOL) based on your family history.
There should be no danger for you to travel to XXXXXXX this week. I hope it is a pleasant and restful flight and that you have an equally pleasant time visiting or being with friends and family.
Until we shall HEAR each other's words again kind lady....let me know if you get any of these tests done or if you can upload the MRI report of the brain from the neuroradiologist's files...that would give me the best idea of what is on the films at this point in time.
Cheers!
As always, I am very appreciative for your positive comments (such as the very kind words you left on the last occasion) and to not forget to CLOSE THE QUERY and even tagging a 5 STAR rating if you feel the information was of value.
Do not forget to contact me in the future at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi for additional questions on what I've written, comments, or concerns having to do with this topic or others. Keep me informed as to how things are going while you're out of the country. I know lots of people can get tests and labs done in their home countries for probably less expensive prices and fees than here so maybe you can do the same?
I'm happy to give you opinions on those results if you get them before returning home as well (or even see you in the office when you return).

Then, there would be the analysis of your DIET to see if removing things such as GLUTEN or lactose could help, etc. Of course, by then, you'd probably be in the ends of a gastroenterologist who may suggesting other tests in order to try and figure out if any physiological or anatomical problems could exist (even genetic if the doc is GOOD! LOL) based on your family history.
There should be no danger for you to travel to XXXXXXX this week. I hope it is a pleasant and restful flight and that you have an equally pleasant time visiting or being with friends and family.
Until we shall HEAR each other's words again kind lady....let me know if you get any of these tests done or if you can upload the MRI report of the brain from the neuroradiologist's files...that would give me the best idea of what is on the films at this point in time.
Cheers!
As always, I am very appreciative for your positive comments (such as the very kind words you left on the last occasion) and to not forget to CLOSE THE QUERY and even tagging a 5 STAR rating if you feel the information was of value.
Do not forget to contact me in the future at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi for additional questions on what I've written, comments, or concerns having to do with this topic or others. Keep me informed as to how things are going while you're out of the country. I know lots of people can get tests and labs done in their home countries for probably less expensive prices and fees than here so maybe you can do the same?
I'm happy to give you opinions on those results if you get them before returning home as well (or even see you in the office when you return).

How are you dear lady? So good to hear you feel a little better
Detailed Answer:
It's so good to SEE your voice again! HA! That'll make you think for a minute...perhaps takes away the electrical shock sensations from the face and head? :)
Yes, of course, I remember your case and your situation. Tell now, have you sought PROFESSIONAL help in terms of the domestic abuse situation you've described and which I can only imagine has placed you under enormous stress or strain? I'm getting the impression that the answer is "probably not"....because I'm sure you would've written about your counselor or whomever you confided in about this situation.....what you talked about, what alternatives you may have in order to stop this behavior on your husband's part....am I right?
I understand you saw your general physician about the diarrheic episode. I also read that your sister is a doctor and gave you some advice about the diarrhea telling you that others in your immediate family (meaning 1st degree relatives) have had the same type of problems in the past. Of course, at first glance one might say that something GENETIC could be afoot....but also we cannot forget that since you've been so much stress and anxiety from what's going on that you could be having very common GI system reactions which can include things such as diarrhea, stomach cramping and pain, loss of appetite, loss of weight, loss of energy and drive, changes in odors or tastes. Many things can happen to a person's system under such conditions. And of course, in the same way this type of stressful situation you are in that I believe definitely contributes at least to SOME OF YOUR SYMPTOMS can happen in others within the same family such as your sister, your mother, and others. Is there a possibility that any of your relatives are also or have been in similar stressful situations, if not of domestic type then, work, social, or perhaps knowing and feeling the stress that others in their family are suffering?
Now please do not misinterpret my thoughts on these points because I don't know your family and don't wish to presume but all I'm saying the domestic stress, violence, abuse, and so forth are rarely isolated to one and only 1 person in a family. These things occur because of perpetual behaviors and habits that people get into or find themselves and then, cannot extract or defend from.....it is a common story that happens to everyone all over the world. And as a doctor I hear these sorts of stories frequently in those suffering physical symptoms that are vague, uncomfortable, distressing, and disabling.
So, in your case your doctor asked for an MRI of the brain which you got....very good....I'm not sure he/she asked for the study having to do with your diarrhea but at least the MRI is a start to look at the possibility of something in the brain. Thank you also for providing the images. Unfortunately, the attached images are extremely small when I open the files on my screen and I really can't see detail very well, however, more than that...you should know that the proper way for a neurologist (or any doctor for that matter) to read a study such as MRI, a CT scan, or any other diagnostic study....is to look at ALL IMAGES, ALL RESULTS, etc. that were acquired during the testing process. Make sense?
People frequently somehow believe that there are only a few images that truly IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE to interpret but the truth is....nobody would spend the time or the resources acquiring hundreds and hundreds of images and sequences if there weren't good reasons and especially if the only pictures worth looking at are the ones that look either the "prettiest" or the ones that have the most detail that is easy to read! I'm sure you can appreciate that perspective. And so I try and educate my patients on bringing me the CD ROM so that we can read the ENTIRE STUDY together and make sense out of things. Unfortunately, on this platform you are not able to upload each and every image nor can you load them in the proper sequences so they can be compared to one another.
The next best thing therefore, is to simply avoid spending your valuable time putting many images up since I will wager you spent quite a bit of time just putting those 10 images up and just upload the radiographic read or report. I will happy to read the report which I will also guess based on your symptoms will not show anything particularly impressive or "bad" if you will.
Still you have these electric like sensations or the feeling of something (water maybe?) running down your forehead or a cold sensation? These are referred to as NEUROPATHIES and they can also come about for deficiencies in certain substances that we all need to have sufficient quantities for normal functioning.
Therefore, I will suggest you get tested for the following labs using blood samples if not already done: Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Folate, TSH, FT4, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin D. A significant deficiency in one of these could give you the symptoms you're describing. Therefore, I suggest your doctor consider these tests. Not only that....if you do get those done feel free to forward since it is known that different specialists and physicians have slightly different standards of what they consider "normal" or "adequate" in their patients. And so to one physician while a B12 level of 30 may appear to be within laboratory normal ranges a neurologist seeing a patient for memory problems or even a neuropathy of recent onset may see this same Vit. B12 level of 30 as something that could definitely be problematic...I would....and so I would suggest that patient go on a supplemental or replacement program IF THEY HAD SYMPTOMS that correlated to some abnormal neurological functioning. Make sense?
And so those tests could be very revealing.
Of course, those tests could come out quite normal or unremarkable and then, you might ask, "Well, what now?" My answer would be, depends....depends on how your family situation with your husband and so forth goes forward. If you continue to have the same stressful and anxiety provoking encounters then, I would definitely recommend that you and especially HE receive counseling. I realize that getting him to join you or even go to someone alone may be a difficult proposition...it always is....but that would clearly be something that would have to be done if you were to have any chance of getting out from under these feelings you are describing.
In the mean time, if there are more diarrheic spells I'm sure your sister will agree that if the loose stools could be captured and taken in for analysis that in general that is the approach we would use to make sure there was not a GI infection that could be causing such problems. Then, there would be the analysis of your DIET to see if removing things such as GLUTEN or lactose could help, etc. Of course, by then, you'd probably be in the ends of a gastroenterologist who may suggesting other tests in order to try and figure out if any physiological or anatomical problems could exist (even genetic if the doc is GOOD!

Hi Doctor
I am glad to see your review on my case doctor . You always make it a point to lighten up the worries i had and it did put a smile on my face . Thank you for your kindness docotr .I am so glad to see your review that spoke on accurately on my case .
Regarding the abuse situatuion I have been to a therapist doctor. So i had eight sessions with my therapist and she guided me to understand my situation and overcome my issues with what i was going through . I had clear understanding after seeing your review on my case and also my sessions with my therapist. She told me its not good to be in a abusive environment and asked me to take couples therapy . My husband was not ready for it . So i have decided to talk it with my family and see what will work for me . I am not sure what will happen in my case as of now doctor . But i am not willing to let my guard down and be in a abusive situation for sometime .
I will be seeking psychiatric help once i reach XXXXXXX and talk to my doctor there and take the required help doctor .
About my case with family history i had spoken about electric shocks doctor . Unlike my family members cases mine was different . In my case i had a electric shock like bursting and firing on my uterus area that caused a miscarriage in my opinion . I was worried about those electric shocks which originated only once and it was a one time event for me . It was traumatic to have had this experience and i wanted to find out if i was doing alright.
I had MRI done for the cause of head pains and changes i felt with my case so far i was going through it for almost 3 months now doctor . I will attach the radiographic report doctor I tried to attach it but could not do the same i hope to do it soon and get reviewed again docotor on my case .
I was asked for a diarrohea stool test since i told my general physician i had this issue for 3 months . From the time i had these electric shocks to be accurate .I will get the reports today doctor by afternoon . I will attach them also and follow up with you doctor .
I am not sure what happened to me but my miscarriage with electric shocks shook me up . I was trying to find solutions as to why it happened doctor . If abuse was the reason i think i have understood doctor . Since i was going to XXXXXXX maybe i thought i can take your good opinion doctor .
Thank You so much Doctor for taking the time to review my case and help me find solutions accurately . I am happy to be reviewed by you doctor . I will close the query for now and reach out to you once i get the reports doctor .
Cheers
Have a nice day Doctor !

Brief Answer:
YOU ARE A STAR MILADY! Bravo for taking the COUNSELING ADVICE
Detailed Answer:
I am sooooo PROUD of you that you have been going to 8 sessions of counseling to learn more about abusive environments and how people can so easily get caught up in them WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING they are in such a tangled web causing their own welfare and comfort to be compromised for the unreasonable and misguided sense of power or feeling of control that others can have by letting them run you like that....Now, he knows that if doesn't play ball soon and that you've taken that 1st step that it's only going to make it easier and easier for you to recognize how easy it is to open that door and either walk away yourself....or better yet....SHOW HIM THE WAY OUT.
Good for you! That is outstanding news....I'm sure you must be feeling much better overall....(I know you're still concerned about the electric shocks.....but TRUST ME....that is not as important as you think....I say that as others have told you that because from a physical/medical point of view...it's true). You are very likely quite INTACT in terms of your female organs and system so that the miscarriage should not be something that will physically alter anything right now.
Look, there are many reasons for miscarriages and I can't possibly PREDICT WITH ACCURACY or 100% certainty that you won't have another miscarriage...even under the best of circumstances. There are tests that can be done on women who have miscarriages to see if they may have a biochemical anomaly of some sort....and so we can only take that point 1 step at a time.
But more importantly than any of that right now....is YOUR health, YOUR welfare, and YOUR MENTAL INTEGRITY, right? Because without you being in top shape to begin with....you can't expect to possibly carry a pregnancy to normal term...or if you do, you will be wiped out from the pregnancy and then, in the end you'll have a baby to take care of plus everything that's going on...and if you don't have your environment under control so that you don't have to be concerned about getting abused physically how can you possibly take care of the child?
I would be very cautious about getting pregnant and then, expecting everything with the abuse to suddenly stop because it does not....and that will only double your mental and physical burdens on top of the risk to the child since you just never ever know with someone who is abusing you how they may react toward the child, right?
Let's get the chemistry tests I told you about just to check if any of those strange neuropathic sensations could be due to some metabolic deficiency then, we'll go from there. Have your counselor/psychologist or psychiatrist if you choose to seek someone out in XXXXXXX get you in touch with some good methods to deal with being overstressed, anxious, etc. Ask them to teach and work with you on methods of DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES, BIOFEEDBACK THERAPY, COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, MEDITATION, TAI CHI, CROSSFIT TRAINING, CYCLING, ROWING, WALKING/JOGGING which you like more, SWIMMING. These are all excellent alternative activities to doing NOTHING because that is the WORST thing to do when you are confronted with things as you have them right now.
These activities will begin to demonstrate to your family and to your husband that you are interested in self improvement and that you have a sense of self worth and value that perhaps was not evident before and more than that....you need not be dependent on anybody to optimize your station and place....AND....YOU ARE VALUABLE COMMODITY and ASSET to the world and there are surely many people who would agree with that perspective and show you the physical and mental respect you deserve.
Go get the Gold star girl....you definitely deserve it!
Have a safe and restful trip to India!

These activities will begin to demonstrate to your family and to your husband that you are interested in self improvement and that you have a sense of self worth and value that perhaps was not evident before and more than that....you need not be dependent on anybody to optimize your station and place....AND....YOU ARE VALUABLE COMMODITY and ASSET to the world and there are surely many people who would agree with that perspective and show you the physical and mental respect you deserve.
Go get the Gold star girl....you definitely deserve it!
Have a safe and restful trip to India!
