did you go to a rheumatologist? They are the experts in lupus and other immunological diseases. They will give you extensive bloodwork and then diagnose you. Lupus does affect other organs and causes other issues.I would see a rheumatologist, I'm sure they can help. I have had lupus for 15 years now and am managing it.

Sounds Like a tough Situation

I not an expert by any means, but I have talked with several people with lupus. I would follow dede28's advice. On the other hand the people I have talked to with lupus are taking an antioxidant to help relieve cellular inflammation, and to help there immune system.
Your body's immune system arsenal of T-cells, B-cells and white blood cells need glutathione to perform at optimum level.
It's in know way a
cure, but it does improve the quality of life.
