Q: body wide lymph and joint swelling - allergic reaction?

Brief History

Allergic to Penicilin, sulphonamides, macrolides

Advised not to take asprin / NSAIDs

QUESTION:

I have been fatigued for a couple of months - went to docs for blood tests - which came back generally good - - high collesterol - very low estrodiol - otherwise all within normal range.

Think I had an allergic reaction to Tylenol Extra - vice like lower back pain, nausea, fever, rash / hives

Next night - had a sudden and terrible headache - vomiting - extreme light sensitivity - couldn't lie down - had to stand up for 3 hours till pain eased

2 days later got extremely runny nose - no sore throat - -

day later started getting swollen glands all over - neck - head - groin - side of breast

week later - swelling joints - elbows, knees, ankles

NON OF THE SWELLINGS ARE HUGE - - all very minor - and some are transient

Lower face - jaw area has been swollen with lymph

Now - upper face - side of nose - a little puffy - and I have suddenly got a strange red line - very thin and straight - on top of one cheek - just appeared over night - - like a scratch - but not a scratch

Swelling behind knees has produced some spider veins.

Could this all be allergy related????
