Hello Silverman and welcome 
I presume that for you to have come to this site one of your doctors must have suggested lupus?
Some of your symptoms could tie in with lupus but they could also tie in with many other things and it may well take a lot more investigation to find out what is going on.
If you want to have a better idea of what diagnostic criteria are needed for lupus you can take a look here

How long have you been having these symptoms? Lupus (if it is lupus) can be extremely hard to diagnose due to its complexity and its tendancy to "mimic" other diseases.
Sorry I can't help more,
Katharine
