Hello, I Have Been Experiencing A Horrible Rash Or Hives

Hello, I have been experiencing a horrible rash or hives for 3-4 months now. It starts with a tingling in my head then my face, arms, it has progressed downward. It stops so my doctor thought it was from an antibiotic I took months ago. The first attack was so horrendous. I felt as if I were being set on fire. I just kept running about my apartment crying. It does not have very raised bumps however since the start I notice it getting worse and it seems to be changing my skin, mottled in color (?). I have been feeling so tired, which is not something new and I suffer from depression. I sweat constantly and it is not post menopausal. Literally every 2-3 minutes I switch from a blanket to soaking wet. Also I have felt somewhat nauseous and 15 mins. ago I was extremely ill. The really scary thing is that the vomit has what they describe as coffee grounds in it. Also, extreme burning, itching in the vaginal and rectal area. The gyno said it was because of dryness. NO. I have to wash sometimes 15- 20 times a day. When the episodes hit me it is so bad I cannot tolerate it. I do not know which part of my body to try and help. I rarely go out in the sun because of the heat (FL). I do take vitamins, quite a mixed bag. Headaches have just started to bother me - shooting stabbing pains. I always find bruising - and I know I did not fall. Well I guess you can get the gist. Some hotheadedness lately and cannot shake myself out of it. Oh one more thing. My apartment has mold everywhere that must be all through the a/c ducts and the round tank that is in the hall closet is so - it has not been touched in 50 years. I moved in here 2 1/2 years ago and suffer with a cough, not so bad now but so violent it makes me vomit -- and scares my mom big-time! Nose always running.

I am not living the high life and have no funds to spare. I am on disability and my rent has gone up from 680 to 805 in that short time. So I am hoping I do not have to pay. If so, I will have to wait to see my PCP on the 31st.

I appreciate your time.
