Hello,

As black tiger snake is neurotoxic in nature, so, these symptoms may develop after bite. But I do not think that these symptoms remain there after 1 year. Also, all your blood tests are also normal. So, I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy after consultation.

I think there will be different cause for your muscle weakness and fatigue. So, remove that cause from your mind. So you review here with detailed history and reports or consult with physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
