New from Newcastle

Well Gateshead actually! Hello everyone - I'm Jennifer and I'm mum to a 2.5 year old daughter and a 11month old eczema baby.

DD2's eczema started when she was 8 weeks old and after 2 months of tears and frustration where I was told she looked like a burns victim because I wasn't moisturising enough, we ended up in A&E where we finally saw someone who took me seriously. She improved some, but was never great till we moved to gateshead and her new GP (may the Gods bless him!!!!) and the hospital have been amazing. You wouldn't know she had eczema now looking at her. We were at the hospital on Thursday and we've just found out that she has an allergy to eggs, house dust mites and cats. Waiting on blood test results to find out about milk.

Phew! Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on so much!
