Seems lately that symptoms of the virus keep growing. Have heard that Pink Eye and Hives can be a sign of the virus attacking too ... ???

That frequently happens with many illnesses. People say "I have the flu" whenever they're not feeling well or just have a cold. Some say they have the flu whenever they have vomiting & diarrhea, when they really have food poisoning.
Pink eye sometimes happens during a cold; I had it once that way. Eye & sinus connection can allow the virus to spread to the eyes.
Hives are usually an allergic reaction. I've had them a couple of times. I never what the cause was. My sister also gets hives.
 
Wish I could respond to all your great responses but my energy level is so low......thanking each and every one of you for the input...💖
and all three of my grown kids experienced these same horrible symptoms when they had food poisoning two or more years ago so I'm gonna give it another day b4 I consider going to the ER....starting to keep down sips of water, 1/2 cracker here and there and two tiny pieces of banana....my older son is a big help also.....hope I'm on the mend and it doesnt repeat itself or worse yet, I got the virus:(

On a positive note, if it is food poisoning, it is short lived. The 3 times I had it, it was 2-3 days.
The vomiting & diarrhea are the body's ways of getting rid of the offending bacteria quickly. Many people make the mistake of trying to stop it by drinking something like Pepto Bismal or other OTC product to stop the diarrhea. That prolongs your illness. The fever kills bacteria that can't survive the higher temperatures. You can see when your immune system is winning by tracking temperature.

@PopsnTuff Have you heard of the BRAT diet for digestive/intestinal issues?

Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. Medically recommended. Google it if you have questions. Proven the most effective after food poisoning, nausea, and other stomach/bowel issues to both soothe and easily retain and digest.

I've heard of the BRAT diet for diarrhea. It works.

Can you try letting ice chips dissolve in your mouth continually and swallow 'normally?' Dehydration can set in so quickly and have such serious impact on your organs. I hope you heard back from the doctor and am very sorry to hear of your distress.
