Continuous Muscle Pains In The Body, Fatigue After Taking Welchol. All Tests Normal. Any Specific Tests?

Hi, I started taking welchol about 9 weeks ago. I took it for five weeks, started getting muscle pains everywhere. Stopped taking it, still have musle pain and fatigue. I'm always tired and almost fall asleep at work a few hours into shift. Everytime I move something hurts, I went to clinic last night and they ran all kinds of tests and x-rays and said everything was fine. I sure don't feel that way. Any sugestions on what I can do or what I specifically need to be tested for?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The constant muscle pain and fatigue that you are having is likely to be related to a disturbance of electrolytes, dehydration, vitamin D 3 deficiency, etc. Some simple blood tests will help in detecting the exact cause.
