See a physician: You're symptoms (rash in particular) are somewhat concerning for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, though no accurate diagnosis can be made in this forum. I would see you primary physician regarding your complaints, and a rheumatologic evaluation may be warranted.

Also Lyme disease: If you have been bitten by a tick or live near the woods (or frequently go camping), consider getting tested for Lyme disease as well. Some of the symptoms, especially the (migratory?) rash are reminiscent of Lyme disease.
