Do I have lupus?

A while back someone mentioned that the symptoms of my mysterious illness sounded like lupus and with research I had to agree. Almost every single symptom possible I was experiencing. Plus, my grandpa has an autoimmune disease so I am genetically more susceptible to having one. I haven’t been too sick for a few months now but I am suddenly sick again and experiencing the worst pain in my back and leg than I have ever had before. My mom says I’m being dramatic and there’s no way I have lupus because I haven’t been sick in a few months. Is this true? Or can lupus seem to disappear for a while?
