HELP ME PLEASE

First I started off with a sore throat! Then I had swollen glands in my neck! I waited two days and went to the hospital and the doctor said I had tonsillitis and a small fever! She prescribed amoxicillin for me! I have a hard time taking capsules so I opened it and took it with water. THe next morning I broke out in a hive like rash all over my body. I went to the doctors and he told me to keep taking the medicine(I had no insurance lol). I took it for the next three days and my glands and sore throat went away. The hives disappeared like a day later or so, but stop itching after the first two days of geting the rash.
A week later my skin started to peel(mainly where I had the hives) and flaky skin! I also developed very mild muscle aches all over my body(mainly in hands, legs and arms)! I started freakin out and thought I had HIV! I went to get a rapid blood test and it came back negative. After that I started to get chest and abdominal stiffness, pain in my eyes a little bit and a sharp pain in back of head. My throat felt a little tight. I had a little diareaha(not much) and I also develop like small brown spots where I had the rash. They couldve been there but I notice them just recently. I get lower back pain sometimes, but not much pain where I think the liver is located. I dont have jaudice! But my skin is itching and I think it could be from the aspirin I took(cuz it didnt really start to a took the aspirin).
I think I had tan stool.

This has been going on for a little over three weeks! My questions are:

Could this be mono?

Could this be Hepatitis a b or c?

I heard that mono sometimes effects the liverand the spleen, so can it display symptoms of Hepatits?

No, not in a wheel chair.  At my home pc I used to sit on a brown stool.  Since, I've gotten a 'home office' chair with wheels.

As for stuff to do in FL, there is  a huge range for bodies of all abilities.  #1 suggestion is always water-related stuff like snorkle, scuba, fishing - lots of places all over.  Of course there are all the 'theme' stuff and those related things at places like Disney.  Way coolest would to see a launch - next shuttle is scheduled 8/7,  I think - (see nasa.gov) and all the other stuff around the Space Center.  There is a private company that now has 'weightless' flight experiences - Stephen Hawking (ALS sufferer) just did that a couple weeks ago.

FL - you're in a wheel chair?

If so - my best friend's son is heading that way - he has Friedrich's Ataxia... Anyhow - we're looking for something "COOL"...

We live in AK - so needs to be rugged...

So if you have any ideas - please --- post me darlin.
