Just need to get things off my chest
Please no judgement as I feel guilty for even writing this and for feeling this way! I have 2 LB one 7 and one nearly 3 - 3 year old has chronic Eczema and allergies which are not under control by any means! We are under allergy and dermatology consultants but it’s like pulling teeth with them at the moment! He screams all the time in pain with his skin, I’m getting support from the GP (finally) he bit me last week he was in that much pain, im up 8-10 times in the night with him! Last night i got an hours sleep (4am-5am)
Im a single mum who works full time so the boys can live their best life ☺️ 7yo has potential ADHD so he can be a massive handful and 0 support with him - I feel like im a full time parent which I am and a 24h carer to my youngest and as a parent I know that’s what I’m here for but i don’t have any social life, I look about 20 years old than I am because sleep deprivation 😭 I love my boys more than anything on this earth but im mentally physically and emotionally exhausted and I just needed to say it and I know it sounds incredibly selfish but im soooo drained at the moment
Someone tell me this will get better and i will have a full night sleep soon for the first time in nearly 3 years 🤣

It gets better. Long days and night but I hope things get better. 🩵
Thank you ladies ☺️ you know when you get to that point - it’s been relentless for weeks! My mum (absolute hero 🦸♀️) has said that she will have them both overnight on Thursday so I can have a night to me, to do what I want but now I’m stuck on what to do- in reality I’ll be in bed by 8 🤣🩷
Absolutely, just rest and sleep.
Mine are now 6 and almost 4 and they sleep through nearly every night. Sleep is in your future.
You can pm me about the allergies and excema if you want, or just chat here. I have two allergy excema babies and I have gotten them both excema free.
The two most important things to remember are
1. Excema is usually non ige allergies so they don't show up in spt or blood test. The ONLY way to diagnose non ige allergies is trial elimination and challenging.
2. It's also related to gut health so do some gut healing if you can. Make or buy bone broth and use it every chance you get.
