Health - 19 October 2007

I have a 12 month old son who had a flesh colored, pimple look-a-like (but no puss or excessively raised) growth on his cheek, which started to appear about 10 days ago. He had it for a couple of days and one day it turned red and had seemed to have grown. I scheduled to have him checked out that day and the doctor looked at him for litterally 3 minutes and claimed the lesion to be eczema (eventhough he never once scratched that spot or seemed to appear to be itchy there). She gave him some atopic dermatitis creme and said it should dissapear in 4 days,2 days later (today) the skin and the lesion just seem to have gotten more agetated and the redness seems to have spread. I think the creme is too harsh for his skin and it doesn't seem to help. I am going to bring him to the doctor again today, but I was wondering if anyone had any clue or any info on what this could be. The lesion right now is pretty flat and red, but if you look closely the center is more yellow than red...

I might have Lupus. I alwys have a fatigue (it's such a drag), my body is always exhausted. It is a struggle just to move from one room to another. I get out of breath very easily, just from walking to the kitchen to the dining room. I feel like I just ran 10 miles. Is this a symptom of Lupus, or autoimmune disease.

And, yes, I am seeing a rheumatologist, but he's not very good at listening and helping!

When i'm on the verge of falling asleep, I sometimes get jerking limbs.... erratic movements, usually doesn't happen in the day, just pretty much at this time. Could this signal anything wrong with me and is this classified as seizures?

I sleep 6 hours at nite, and sometimes I can stretch it out to 7, but I really dont require a lot of sleep. If I go to bed at 11PM, I am ready to get up at about 5:30 or 6 AM. Right now I have been up for 1 hour here in Illinois and the sun is just popping out.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, will sleep form 11PM until 9 or 10 the next day. He then wants to sleep in the afternoon and also likes to catch naps all day long.
It about drives me crazy. I am having some problems accomodating his sleep habits.
He says he is tired. I think he may have some physical health problems. He works way too many hours. He is currently on a break. Finally.
What do you think of someone who sleeps 10-12 hrs a nite and then naps in the daytime?
