34
Q

A 43‐year‐old male presents with fatigue, depression, headaches, exercise‐induced myalgia, muscle cramping, pain in his lower extremities, gastroesophageal reflux, irritable bowel, and type 2 diabetes. His occupation involves cabinet lamination, painting, and staining for the past 15 years. Physical examination noted moderate muscle loss and absent deep tendon reflexes.
