We were doing fairly well this winter.
We discovered the allergies and are dealing with them. Jonathan has been much happier since then and I am able to put him down and he plays now
i/o crying all of the time.
Now with the summer here it is getting tough again and I see the constant struggle coming back
Every diaper change and lubing of the skin is a wrestling match met with constant crying and resistance. I can't say that I blame him. I have not gotten more than 5 very broken hours of sleep a night since his birth since the itching wakes him constantly. I am exhausted and feeling hopeless again. I hate seeing him suffer and not being able to make it better for him!!! I cannot stress that enough It is a horrible cycle which seems to have no end in sight. We have been to so many different doctors who basically say there is nothing more we can do. The thing that really breaks my heart is the idea that he may be like this his whole life and one day may have his own child that is like this. Right now every crevice of his body has it again. He always has it on the backs of his legs and I can never put him in shorts because once he is naked he immediately digs into his legs. The battles really never seem to end.
Please tell me this gets easier with time. It has been over a year now and although he has been better at times, it never ever goes away!
Sorry if I seem a little emotional. Last night was a particularly rough night and I am really running on fumes today.
Thanks for listening
