Based on my own life-experience, the observation of others and academic study, I have come to the conclusion that our bodies have their own wisdom and they speak to us with eloquence if we but listen. Symptomology is the study of symptoms.......messages our bodies give us when there is a malfunction or dysfunction. Pain and fever are two biggies, but there are many others: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, warmth, redness, alterations in the perceptions of various senses, changes in routine body functions, cravings, etc. The list is remarkable in its vastness and variety. The problem seems to lie in the realm of not recognizing body messages for what they are.
With minimal effort we can learn to recognize these messages and even develop some degree of understanding as to what they mean.
