Head pressure when sleeping, red eyes, systemic rash, ect...

I'm trying to see what else I can do as far as treatment, I'm running out of options.

1. I was hospitalized with viral gastroenteritis about 3 months ago which lasted about two weeks and was hospitalized for 3days. This was after 4rounds of antibiotics with in about 45days. 1st was doxycyclin for 10days, then a single dose z-pac, then amoxocillin 10days, then penicillin which i only took 4 days before the abdominal pain started and got the most sick i've ever been in my life.

2. After the amoxillin 10th day I developed a systemic rash which has still been going on till this day. I have been tested for almost everthing under the sun. mono, HIV, Std's, Auto immune, complete blood work which all has come back normal.

4. I've seen serval doctors and no one can really tell me why I have this systemic rash. I've been on Allegra for about a month now which helps the rash go away quicker but does not make it stop.

5. I think i have so sort of contact dermatitis and dermagraghic urticaria. also my body marks very easy. sometimes I'll also get random hives that dont itch but come in small red spots usually on my arms then go away later. sometimes after taking a shower too.

6. Also I've been dealing with a great deal of head pressure now. I can feel my head throbbing when I sleep and can hear my heartbeat non-stop. It feels like my heart is pumping too hard or something. I check my vitals and they are fine. BP usually around 120/82. Now I've been dealing with redish/pink eyes like I haven't slept in days and my doctors seem to think it's all allergy related which I dont think it is.

7. I've tried Visine which helps but makes my eyes hurt (vasoconstriction probably). zaditor which does nothing. now taking similason pink eye relief(homeopathic) which does very little help without hurting my eye

I'm not sure who else to see Neurologist/Optimologist/ENT???
Anything would help thanks.

I mean, I have no idea. But it sounds like something systemic.

I too had the same illness this past summer. I was deployed to Kuwait when it happened. It started one day when I woke up really weak.  I had really low blood sugar is what I thought at first. I had to complete my 12 hour shift. When I went home that night I had lost my appetite that would last for the next 3 days. Every time I went to sleep I would be awaken from horrible migraines. I also suffered from night sweats. I would literally be shaking because to me I was freezing but sweating at the same time. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a viral infection despite the nasty strawberry rash covering my body. It took me 2 weeks to recover and I really want to know the true diagnostic to this because this is not so common.
