Keeping up appearances

Lupus patients can be the most stubborn people on the planet, myself included. Notorious for not necessarily taking the best advice, making the most of any sort of energy - even if it means we're twice as tired at the end - refusing to accept ourselves as different and cherry picking when our condition should be taken into consideration for our actions or circumstance (chronic patient prerogative).  Not all necessarily bad things, if anything it gives us a sense of balance in a life that is slightly off kilter.
