Boost my energy?

Hay, I'm 15 and have lupus, like both my sister and mom. Ours is not as bad as long as we catch it early but I can never find a way to avoid how tired I get. It makes me extremely tired and usually at school I can stay active enough to not fall asleep and wake up hours later and still feel extremely exhausted. Just wondering what do you do to help keep your energy up?

Yes, the fatigue is sometimes relentless.  Some things that might help areB-12 shots, staying out of the sun, cutting back (eliminating) sugar, and getting enough rest.  I remember being really tired when I was a teenager.  You already ave a lot of changes going on in your body because you are 15.  If you are not on a multi vitiamin, I encourage you to do so.  Also a B-complex would be good to take as well.  

Many people don't realize the importance of water.  When you are dehydrated, your body don't have the necessary moisture to break down food and digest it properly.  

Hope some of this will be helpful to you. ~Kara
