@dmmeyers62, I merged your latest post with your original discussion about the diagnosing lupus and autoimmune conditions. As Mayo Clinic mentions, "No one test can diagnose lupus." https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lupus/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20365790
Like you @jayrob624 was looking for answers and found it was a reaction to medication. See here:

@dmmeyers62, it sounds like you and your doctor are still on the path to confirming or ruling out lupus. Have you seen a rheumatologist? Can you go to a large medical center?
