Have you seen your physician and been evaluated for MS or Lupus? This is serious enough that you ought not try to self-diagnose.
Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about diagnosis and treatment for MS:

and for lupus:

Keep in mind that many other conditions can cause the symptoms you are experiencing as well.
When were you last seen for a thorough physical evaluation?

Dr. on Friday took blood to check for HLA B-27 and today I had my lower back X-ray.
My insurance requires an X-ray prior to an MRI.
Supposed to hear results for the X-ray in two days and I hope the blood test comes back this week.
I will update ASAP.
Have a great day!!
