Need more info: One or two issues are not sufficient for a diagnosis of lupus. Visit this site for diagnostic criteria for lupus and then discuss the matter with your doctor. There are many other autoimmune disorders but there is not sufficient space here to explain. https://www.lupusresearch.org/understanding-lupus/diagnosis-and-treatment/diagnosis/ Wish you good health!
