What medication are you taking for your SLE? When were you diagnosed with it and what symptoms you had when you were diagnosed? SLE is a multi system condition and can affect the kidneys which can at time cause protein in urine. From what you mentioned its likely you have an infection at present. But if you are taking any immunosuppressants for your SLE you need to stop them till you are clear of the infection.

International guidelines say to take antibiotics for 7 days, to clear the infection. If its not settling then you would need further investigations

Did you have any other symptoms apart from the hand pains and any blood tests that directed the rheumatologist to the diagnosis? I am rheumatologist myself but my profile doesn’t show it as I am not practicing in Pakistan.

The symptoms you mentioned and with no ANA came back negative then it’s very unlikely you have SLE. I think you need to revisit the SLE diagnosis. For your thyroxine i will not be able to help if i dont know what dose thyroxine you taking and what are your tsh and t4 levels.
