DD2 3 years has SN that cope with fine and she generally is a very happy, carefree little girl.
But I struggle every winter, she is an asthmatic on seretide and atrovent that gets constant over winter. Severe eczema and recurrent chest/skin infections.
She ends up on endless antibiotics, steroids, creams, wet bandaging, down the GPs on an nebulizer, hospital stays. She ends up sleeping 20 hours a day, not eating, not playing, looking miserable for 6 months a year.
But no-one seems to change anything GPs stick her on another cream or course of antibiotics on top of the ones she's on. Hospital send her home to 'recover' as soon as possible and don't realise she won't recover until May/June. Her consultant nods when I tell her she's not been well since last visit and provide her with a list of everything.
