To cut a long story short, I came home after being taken out for a meal by a friend (not something I very often do and that could have been a trigger as it was busy), sat and watched some TV for a bit and then had a couple of fits. I've had these fits before, but not like this for a year or so. Its not something that I should go to A&E for because theres nothing they can do and the experience stresses me out more and can just make the fits worse (especially if they make me sit in minors).
My housemate wants to call my GP out tomorrow, but its going to be an out of hours GP who won't have access to my notes and thus will probably just send me to hospital.
What do I do? Do I just hang tight till tuesday, or what? I know its not really my call, if I'm bad enough I'll get carted off regardless I'm just really not keen on it. maybe I can sleep it off now...

If not, wait until your GP is back on Tuesday.
Oh well, there goes my chance of have a drivers licence gone for another year ;(
I'll go to the GP on tuesday, I'm hoping that I don't have any more and it will all blow over, but I just have this horrible feeling this is the start of more tests, more waiting lists and hospital visits. FUCK THIS BULLSHIT! I know I'm upset right now but if I could cut out the part of my brain that does this I would. ;(
I think its a very good idea to go see your own GP tuesday. I know further tests, etc won't be fun but it's worth investigating what has re-started these fits.
Try to not beat yourself up about this, it's not your fault.
Possibly listening to Alice in Chains on repeat isn't helping matters...
