I should explain that my current interest is stress/serotonin induced dopamine delivery issues ie there's enough dopamine but it does'nt get to where it is needed in sufficient quantity. Cases like the one you describe may add a piece to the puzzle.

Hi again Nigel, my neurologist is testing my blood for Dopa Responsive dystonia or Segawa syndrome, although I don't believe I have that and there is not a great deal of info on the net on DRD. Will keep you posted on the test results which maybe 2 months away as my blood had to be sent overseas for diagnoses.
