Nah, it makes sense. If you have any ongoing condition for which "not much can be done" and you know what can be done, going in every time it happens is a waste of time. But going in periodically isn't always, and going in when it happens for the first time after an absence might be worth it.
(Case in point: I don't go see a doctor when my ankle goes out, unless it does something weird. I have weak ankles. I put a brace on it, mutter, and am more careful for a while 'til I think it's settled down. Or, I don't go in with a sinus infection until the usual things they tell you to do have been tried and failed.... Though right now I would because some of the 'usual things' are on the 'with caution during pregnancy' list, but.)
