      • Blood tests

        • Full blood count and ESR

        • Electrolytes (to detect low potassium, low sodium and low calcium which may cause generalized muscle aches)

        • ANA autoantibodies to detect systemic lupus erythematosus

        • Muscle enzymes, if suspect muscle disease

        • Trichinella antibodies, if suspected
