Not only was it exhausting but I was quite unwell afterwards and I had some features of rhabdomyolysis ie reduced output of (brown) urine, severe muscle pain, exhaustion and generally feeling really ill. Just wondering . . .
Have you had your thyroid checked? I've had very mild rhabdomyolysis when my thyroid levels have been very low. Autoimmune thyroid issues and myasthenia gravis seem to be a common combination.

With dark urine, a visit to the ER should be considered. This happened to me years ago from statins - was given IV fluids which provided temporary relief, and was told to stop statins. It took about 8 years for my liver to recover.
