Were you healthy and had energy before the big rash? Or did the tiredness come first?

Hi, it's wise that you have identified the start of your problems. Tell that to very doc you see. What was your CBC back then?

Lymphoma is a cancer of immune system cells -  so symptoms can be similar to having an infection or an allergy. Look at your upcoming visit with the oncologist as hopefully ruling out cancer - then you begin diagnosing what the actual cause is.

Do you have a family history of autoimmune conditions or other strange immune conditions?
