Spec. MD. Shabnam Jafarova

As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I developed sudden, vivid hallucinations of complex maps appearing on every surface. Dr. Jafarova didn't dismiss this as dementia; she recognized it as Charles Bonnet syndrome secondary to my macular degeneration. Her gentle explanation that my brain was creating its own 'maps' to compensate for lost vision transformed my fear into fascination, and her cognitive strategies helped me distinguish these phantom cartographies from reality.

My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive junior chess player, began making illegal moves during tournaments, moving bishops horizontally, claiming she 'saw different rules.' Other neurologists suspected behavioral issues, but Dr. Jafarova discovered a rare form of occipital lobe epilepsy where chess patterns triggered micro-seizures affecting her visual processing. After targeted medication, she not only returned to chess but won her age division, calling Dr. Jafarova her 'grandmaster of brains.'

After surviving a lightning strike while hiking, I developed synesthesia where sounds manifested as physical textures, my husband's voice felt like sandpaper, music like broken glass. Dr. Jafarova identified this as acquired auditory-tactile synesthesia from neural pathway cross-wiring post-trauma. Her neuro-rehabilitation program, incorporating controlled sensory exposure, gradually restored normal perception over nine months, allowing me to hear my daughter's laughter without pain.

As a 41-year-old marine biologist, I began experiencing 'reverse phantom limb' syndrome, feeling my missing research arm (lost in a equipment accident) but also suddenly losing sensation in my existing arm during underwater dives. Dr. Jafarova connected this to pressure-triggered neural confusion and designed a unique compression sleeve protocol that recalibrated my proprioception, allowing me to return to deep-sea research within four months.

A 45-year-old patient who survived carbon monoxide poisoning developed time agnosia, unable to estimate duration, living in perpetual 'present moment' without sense of minutes or hours passing. Dr. Jafarova created a revolutionary rehabilitation program using rhythmic auditory stimulation and temporal cueing devices, gradually rebuilding his temporal perception through neural plasticity over eighteen months of dedicated work.
