Complex: Your rheumatologist and neurologist would answer you better, border line lupus with MS, medicines would overlap for both conditions , good communication between treating physicians is the key, goodluck,

Sternal mass: Leave it alone unless it has begun enlarging rapidly. I suspect it is one of the several benign hamartomas / developmental anomalies that can happen there and the "hypermetabolism" is marrow. You also have a right and duty to know what the old biopsy showed and what the implications are.
