I am having several symptoms rapid weight loss, involuntary vomiting, weakness in limbs and it has been going on for weeks. I have had a catscan and full blood work up to find nothing. Any ideas...I am tired of not being able to do what I need to do?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about unexplained weight loss. Your complete blood panel should have included complete blood count, ESR, c reactive protein, creatinine, BUN, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, corrected calcium, protein, hiv (if sexually active), thyroid hormone levels.
A scope of the gastrointestinal tract may also be needed by colonoscopy and endoscopy to see if there are any lesions that may be causing the problem.
I hope this helps
