text: are most lupus patients very active people who go and go when not in flair until they wear out and get sick? i seam to be so hyper i can't stop going even though i and in pain. after a couple of days i start to feel presure in my body especially in my head, and don't recover for several days of sleep. i can't seem to control myself , knowing what is going to happen most people i know who have lupus and the same way . is this a charctuistic of most lupus patients? lupus is very unfortunate to have because it attacks your immune system. this behavior you are experiencing is characteristic of lupus patients, but remember that you still have a survival rate. live life to its fullest and gradually you will become happier...extending the life span.  diet and excercise wouldn't hurt either.
