 Yep... For example just about every type of disease effects the
digestive system and the nervous system in different ways. That's why
I always roll my eyes when reading 'symptoms' listed in generic faq
type websites. What needs to be described as well as those obvious
ones, is the TELL TALE symptoms. OFten these are only discernible by
blood tests/ urine tests, biopsies etc.

I found out recently btw with lyme disease the tell tale 'ring' that
forms around the bite can be irregular and fades in time. That's
what makes this disease so hard to diagnose.

I was reading too recently how the symptoms of female hormone imbalance.
Reading the chart you notice *with a headache coming on- the symptoms
(behavioral mostly) for lack in one are the same as symptoms for excess in
the other. I guess the only way to really know if what we are out of
whack with is a blood and or urine test.
