Absence type and tonic/clonic type as well as occaisional shaking/twiching of limbs.
Been going on for about a month only in evenings and only when relaxed.

I have no idea, but you need to get it checked out.

AM having other probs atm and am under Gynae , and waiting for liver scan and a med consultant.

I am on the pill but this started prior to starting it. I have been worse last 2-3 days and am due on tomorrwo so not sure if they are linked.

GP saw absence type behaviour on Monday and I tried to get across (for what felt like the 100th time ) how I have been but was a bit out of it by then.

Can you take someone with you to the GP (or even A&E) to explain exactly what has been happening?

BF has been going with me when he can and he is VERY good at dealing with that sort of thing BUT they change diagnosis every appointment

sounds frustrating . If you have another seizure, could you just get to A&E? Have you had an EEG or whatever it's called?
