Can you ask him what you should do? Surely there are ways to distract yourself whenever you see a "spider"?

I hope your dr can help if you need to call him. Though if you know you deteriorate quickly, maybe you should call now. Can't hurt to let your dr know what's going on. Worst case, he says, "ok, thanks for letting me know." Best case, he sets up an appt in advance and says, "cancel it if you get better." Then you're guaranteed an appt.
