Lupus?

My "allergies" have got decidedly worse over the years and particularly the last 2 years. i get extremely swollen red eyelids and my undereyes puff out and look like ive been punched in the face, these flares last anything from 3 days onwards - the longest was around 10 days - I have used livocab, deslarotodine, corticosteroids, steroid cream and more, they relieve some of the symptoms eventually. Side note i have dry eyes cervical spondylosis and 3 types of headache that I am under a neurologist for. Does anyone know if this sounds like lupus?
