Hi,
From the presentation that you have mentioned I suppose you are suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this condition the diagnostic test are false negative at times. This condition mainly affects your skin and joints, and in certain severe cases internal organs like heart/kidney/liver.
The treatment completely depends on the symptoms that you present. I would like not to suggest you any medicines as any prescription will require a follow up and a thorough check up which would be good if you visit any physician near by your locality or convenience.
To end up I would say this is a life long disease but not incurable with proper medication and care. By avoiding sun light and regular exercises, you can fight it off and live a healthy happy life.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jenis Bhalavat
