Hi Leigh,
I reread this, and I'm so sorry I have nothing to add.
I, myself, never had a rash, night sweats, or anything you mention.
My symptom was tiredness (for months) and a fast-growing tumor, so I really am not qualified to give you any information.
It sounds like you've had lots of tests....haven't they made a "formal" diagnosis, yet? I'm sorry to hear you're distraught. There's a lot of people in your shoes, not knowing---for example, my friend, Fairy Lights, has been seeking answers for, possibly months.
Through this forum, we've all prompted her to seek further tests,etc...
But, sometimes I guess when the symptoms just don't all "add up," they can't make a proper diagnosis.
Hopefully, someone can come on here and help more than me.
Hang in there. I, myself, am going through chemo & then radiation, so it's a long haul for me, and I'm trying to remain positive. This forum is helping me do that.
Hope I helped a little.

Thanks. I'm doing better, now that I know what's ahead.
I don't think they allow pictures posted on this forum.
I think it's strictly "script/text" ...as in writing.
Take care.
