With lupus, is it normal that, even when i am doing well, i am extremely sensitive 2 lack of sleep &overexertion. if i overdue it, i get warning signals of a flare & intense fatigue.common or unusual?

May be normal: It is not unusual to be fatigued after over exerting yourself and for lack of sleep.You need to find your threshold and try to get at least 7 hours of sleep and avoid over exertion but i will also suggest you see your doctor and get checked, complete physical exam and if indicated blood test etc.

Lupus: It is possible but it could also be depression or simply a side effect of the medications you are taking.
