@Dallase1 I'm not sure of the levels I have to find the paperwork which im too sick to do now.

Is that arup lab covered by insurance? Where would I get the blood drawn for that and who would order it- my reg dr?

@Wolfcub I have heard of ginger but it tends to burn my throat even in tea.

Get your doctor to order it. Yes it is covered but you have to have a doctor willing to help you.
Tell me when you say “sick” what do you mean? Like what are your symptoms when you’re sick?

Well my dr is not ordering more tests right now.
I feel twisting and crawling in my intestines, queasy, breathless, weak, cant digest food, no strength to sit up or walk, shaky (my hands shake badly), dizzy and faint. I vomit or have diarrhea often .
My limbs feel heavy, my body hurts and skin burns. Sometimes I get deeply cold like my insides are cold or just my skin.

Something is going on. It may just be a bunch of symptoms from one main cause.

Sure, @Dallase1. I totally agree.
that's y I posted about finding a dr who can put it all together and figure it out.
None of the various drs I've been to have been able to so far.

Yes it can be a bit hot unless you're used to it. Eating it alongside a spoonful of honey can help. But then again maybe your body just doesn't like it.
