I think it depends on your doctor. Mine does not want to know about new symptoms, she just says there nothing she can do about them, so if they are bad I go to the ER. When my right side went completely numb, I called my neuro's nurse, and she called back and said if I could not walk, to come in. So now I save up symptoms for scheduled visits and never call in. when I first got sick, I'd get a new symptoms ever week, and it was hard, but I adjusted to it. I figured they were only symptoms and not necessarily indicative of anything more serious. I learned not to take my disease too seriously, and that has paid off in the long run through less anxiety and less worry, and I am able to enjoy life more that way

That sounds odd - my neuro only wants to hear the new symptoms, not the old ones. I guess so he can check progression. I store them up and tell him about the new ones every time I have an appointment. But typically I don't bother calling the neurologist every time I have a new symptom - or I'd be calling them up every day!
