I think it's best to be very honest and straight-forward with your doctor, so they can properly diagnose you. There could be hundreds, if not thousands of reasons for any given medical issue, so explaining where you've been, what you've done, what you've eaten, and so on probably provides a great deal of help, and helps ensure you don't get mid-diagnosed.

And yes, most have attached themselves to my eye-lashes. I can see the little fucks when I first wake up, before I brush them out of my eye.
