Unhappy Arimidex Allergy?

Well, I finally was able to go on Arimidex, after my ooph, and now I might be allergic to it! I started early December on the Arimidex, then Christmas Eve, half of my face swelled up, and I looked like a monster! So I shrugged it off to a once a time thing, then I kept having hives almost every day. I then developed shingles, was on meds for that, then for the past 2 weeks, I keep getting these huge, huge welts all over my body. They are like 2 inches x 2 inches! I'd get like 3-4 a day, in different areas....so now the onco wants me to try to be off of the Arimidex for 2 weeks, and we'll see if that's it. I hope it's not the medication. Has any one had problems with Arimidex like this?
