Hello
Went through your post, and I don't know weather you have lupus or not but let me tell you that, It is not necessary to have biomarkers of lupus in blood for diagnosis, if you have 4 out of 11 ACR criteria which looks from your symptoms, then you have what we call seronegative lupus.
I would suggest you consult a Rheumatologist.
