So I went a doctor on Saturday.
I told them I'd been taking amoxicillin without perscription, they told me how that isn't a good idea, etc. etc. and prescribed me two other medicines.
A few hours after taking them I notice I have some red dots forming on my stomach and chest.
I stop taking medicine and call the doctor Sunday morning, they say to go to emergency room.
I get to emergency room Sunday at noon and eventually am admitted into the hospital, getting a bed around 5pm. I just got out today, I actually look a lot worse than I did when I came in (I'm covered ankles to shoulders in red dots AND splotches) but I feel a lot better.
It turns out I had mono, or a certain version (I'll update later with details). This skin reaction that they thought was an allergic reaction to medicine turned out to just have to do with the mono.
Also, the original doctors apparently gave me the wrong medicine, so going there was a pure waste (I should've just went with the Maker's).
Either way, I'm feeling OK right now, my throat is in fragile but decent shape, and that is the main problem I've had for the last week and a half.
Oh and I haven't had a cigarette in like 2 weeks, so I guess I'm quitting. Haven't really had many urges or anything, considering I couldn't even swallow half the time I was in the hospital, this is no surprise.
I'll update with more details later, for now I'm going to relax and enjoy a normal bed/couch/tv/life.
