Does this sound like an Autoimmune Disorder?

I am a twenty-one year old Caucasian male, who is in moderate shape. Over these past three weeks, I have been experiencing migratory joint and muscle pain in my knees, arms, back, hips, stomach muscles, shoulder, neck, wrists and fingers. No inflammation. Within one week of having pain in my elbow, the pain started making the rounds on my entire body. The funny thing is, these pains move around from joint to joint at almost a twenty minute pace. First it's my knee and then, ten or twenty minutes later, my wrist. Once the pain leaves a specific area, that area no longer hurts. The joints also crack more than they used to. I've tested negative on an ANA test and was told by my doctor that it is quite rare for a young Caucasian male to exhibit Lupus. Does this sound like rheumatoid arthritis or any other autoimmune disorder?

Just a shot in the dark......  were you taking penicillin prior to the onset of symptoms?  Or a new med?  Antiserum?  The migratory aspect, pain making the rounds on your body just for a short amt of time, then moving elsewhere is reminiscent of serum sickness I experienced once.  Unlike other allergic reactions, symptoms of SS take 7-21 days to show.  But then you'd likely also have experienced hives, swollen lymph nodes, fever at some point.       ?
