Sickle Cell and Lupus

I've been seeing hematologists for many years for Sickle beta thalassemia. I was recently referred to a neurologist for migraines. After complaining to the neurologist about chronic pain on one side of my body (which the hematologists didn't give me an answer for) the neurologist ordered a lot of blood work, and now thinks I have Lupus, as well. Does anyone else have both?
