Well looking into your history , since you are suffering from a number of autoimmune diseases . It is quite a possibility that you may be suffering from fibromyalgia and lead to this picture . Certain diseases that you are suffering from lupus it may also cause these problems .

I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist and get yourself evaluated for same .

Take care.
