Sometimes our bodies display some pretty weird health symptoms to alert us that something isn’t quite right. From our fingernails to our elbows, there are warning signs that can help us do what we need to in order to be healthy. That’s what this post is about.
But first, I want to show off this healthy recipe that is packed full of nutrients. These Anti-Inflammatory Sweet Potato Muffins are so delicious and a great way to reduce inflammation which causes so many health issues.
Weird Health Symptoms
I really hope if you ever have any symptoms that seem a little weird to you, that you’ll go to a doctor asap. And yet, too many people, especially women, ignore the things their bodies are trying to tell them.
Remember, I’m a blogger, not a doctor. Talk to yours to find out everything you need to know about your symptoms.

I have a weird “symptom” that my doctor ignores! My fingernails on one hand are very weak and break easily and grow very slowly. The other hand the nails are strong and grow normally. I just would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and found an answer?
How many times I get up during the night directly correlates with how much I have to drink during the day, and especially in the evening. More to drink = more times getting up to pee
Thanks for the info very helpful.
Actually, I ate ice for years until I was diagnosed and treated for iron deficiency anemia. And the hoarse voice being a symptom of lyme made me stop in my tracks. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago. I have a lot of aymptoms of lyme but have never been tested, will be bringing it up to my doc. Thanks!
