HI
Well come to HC
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms of course could be due to fibromyalgia and this is more or less functional condition and symptoms may not be lupus, better try to control your thoughts, increase tolerance power against the pain and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
