Default Should I Share All of My Symptoms With a New Doctor?

I'm seeing some new doctors next month because I will finally have health insurance again. I am still experiencing a ton of symptoms from the concussion that I got in December of 2013, and I'm wondering if I should share every single symptom during my first appointment.

I guess I'm just worried that I'll look like a complainer or that the doctor will blame everything on anxiety if I come in with a long list of health complaints. I don't know if it would be better to focus on a few related issues during the first appointment or only mention my most severe symptoms.

I am tired of feeling terrible every day and want a chance at feeling better. I'm worried I'll screw everything up if I approach my appointments the wrong way.
