Hi,
I suffer from exactly the same fits. Worst scenario was one when I went to bed fine and happy only to wake up at 4am in the police station, naked, locked out of my flat with no idea how I got there. Apparantly, I'd walked out of my flat, walked down the street to the police station and asked them to let me into my flat....... Needless to say, it wasn't one of my proudest moments.
I've lived with fits in my sleep for about 5 years now and they are terrifying...mainly as you are totally unaware of anything even happening. I would wake up in a different room, battered and bruised, with badly bitten and swollen tongue. I even had a gash down my neck once from what I can only imagine was catching my neck on the corner of the radiator by my bed. I was finally put onto a pump to try and overcome the fits. This was the case for about 18 months but they have started to re-occur. I don't know what to do about them and nor do my diabetic team. It's horrible and very frightening. I can totally sympathise with you as I know exactly where your coming from.
As for the DVLA, they are aware of my fitting, all my fits are during the night and as such, I can retain my licence on a 3 yearly basis. I'm not sure if you have ever fitted during the day?? All of mine have been while I'm asleep.
You can contact me privately if you want to chat about it or discuss anything? I'm really sorry to hear that your going through the same thing but at the same time, I'm thrilled to find someone to talk to about it!!
Hope to hear from you soon and hope they manage to help you prevent them or if not, help you deal with them.
