Dear Patient,

In my opinion its better to tell us or a specialist your symptoms, and ask them to refer some tests on you IF NEEDED. Otherwise this testing yourself will cause you unnecessary unease.
These are the common symptoms, though they may vary between people
Achy joints (arthralgia)
Unexplained fever (more than 100 F)
Swollen joints (arthritis)
Prolonged or extreme fatigue
Skin rash
Ankle swelling and fluid accumulation
Pain in the chest when breathing deeply (pleurisy)
A butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose
Hair loss
Sensitivity to the sun or other light
Seizures
Mouth or nose sore
