Your investigations do not point to a definite autoimmune rheumatic disease at present. As your symptoms persist and recur after stopping steroids, I recommend a repeat rheumatology review for a detailed examination before considering further treatment. Avoid continuing steroids without medical supervision.

Next Steps
