Guesswork: Can't diagnose without in depth history, medication/supplements review, physical examination, possible imaging, possible lab tests. Considering your reported symptoms it may be wise to consult with a specialist Rheumatologist. There are, by the way, specific diagnostic tests for MS and Lupus.
