Ed, You ran out of gas. The system that sends messages to the rest of your body tried to run on empty - and it does not work. Think how bad PD must have been a hundred years ago..50 years ago...40 years ago.. Your medicine probably didn't completely run out of your system, but you went further than you should have.

It can be extremely painful and dangerous for some. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.
