Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you are having generalised body ache.This is mostly due to lack of vitamin D3 or B12. But before I advised you anything I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Since when you are having these symptoms?

Brief Answer:
you need to check your D3 and calcium level also

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is good that you are taking B12 daily. I would also suggest you to take 60000 unit vitaminD 3 daily for 6 weeks on weekly basis. Also you should take 1000 mg calcium daily.your weakness is also due to low salt and fluids. So you should also take daily one glass of water with one table spoon salt and lemon juice. I hope these steps will improve your body pain.
Thanks
