Headaches, Sore Throat, Yellow Fingernails, Allergy Symptoms, Swelling In Lymph Nodes, Had Toe Nail Fungus. Smoker. Related?

Hello,

I am living in a small single dwelling home with a great deal of moisture problems as a result of concrete floors, and cinder block walls merely covered in flooring/drywall with no treatment/material to prevent moisture damage. I have also been having a lot of problems with mold for the 7 months I have been living here. I clean it away and it grows right back within 2 days. I am very sick. I have always had minor allergy symptoms at times but since living here it's grown worse and worse. Now I constantly have a bad headache, earaches, extreme sore throat and extreme pain when swollowing as if I'm trying to swollow a baseball, very sore and swollen places in neck (lymph nodes?). I also have yellow finger nails now (no I do not drink yes I do smoke) and bruises keep appearing all over my body. I also have developed a toe nail fungus problem. I am always home 24/7 rarely ever wearing shoes because I rarely ever go anywhere. Right now everything feels even worse because I have a bad tooth that must be infected because the gum around it is very very swollen and it really hurts. But could the mold be the cause of any of the symptoms I've mentioned?
