Too itchy to sleep for almost 6 (long + stressful) years
Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:35 am
Our daughter has moderate eczema that seems to get worse year on year. She’s almost 6 and has suffered since before 6 months old.
We’ve tried every type of moisturiser, emollient, steriod, she has daily antihistamines. We’re aware of all her allergies + manage them as well as we can (although most of them are air allergens/pollen/animals which makes that hard to eliminate!).
The problem is: she doesn’t sleep well at all. Never sleeps through, she’s so itchy at night. We have sleep gloves for her but trying to transition out of those because the heat makes it worse and we’re heading to Spring.
It feels like we’ll never sleep, this will never end and sometimes it all just gets a bit much!
I’m writing this in the hopes that someone has SOMETHING we haven’t tried, although I must add that I’m not hopeful!
Thanks
