Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
To start with, allergies do not last for several weeks especially when an external factor can not easily be identified.
Given your description, my suspicion is the likelihood of an autoimmune diseases (these could manifest at times like allergy). An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders. In patients with an autoimmune disorder, the immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and antigens. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues. This response is a hypersensitivity reaction similar to the response in allergic conditions. The reason for this is unknown to medical community but they are known triggers such as infections, stress, allergens, drugs etc.
Examples of autoimmune conditions that can symptoms such as joints pain, muscle pain, skin rash (as you mentioned in your resume) is lupus, dermatomyositis etc.
Well in my opinion, allergies should be considered as an alternative cause but I do doubt if they will general joints or muscle pain.
You will need to see a rheumatologist for follow-up.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
