lupus

I have had some strange symptoms of late and did some research on lupus, I have many of the symptoms and was wondering if anyone on the board has this disease and can give me some input on it. I see my oncologist on April 1st. I have alot of joint pain, photosensitive rash that comes out on my face, hands and wrists. I have stopped all AI's months ago, even the tamoxifen. Finished herceptin in January and chemo last Feb. I have also been very fatigued in the past month. Thyriod has checked out ok. Thanks for any input you all have.
