Screaming to sleep

So DS screams at bedtime and every nap for at least 5 minutes.  If I go in and try to calm him down it just wakes him up more and he screams longer.  If I try to rock him to sleep he wakes as soon as I put him in the crib.  I've tried the baby whisperer, the sleep lady, healthy sleep habits, and they all just make him scream longer.  It's been over a month that he's been doing this.  Has anyone else gone through this?  We put him down at 7:30-8:00 now, and he's up by 6.  We were doing 8:30 or 9:00 because he never seems to get tired, but then he really wasn't getting enough sleep.  He does the same thing at nap time

    No, but I wanted to say I am sorry and that sounds like it sucks...

    We never CIO.  Our technique was just to keep going in and comforting him briefly in the crib (not picking up) and leaving.

    Some nights we had to do that for an hour or two, but after a couple of weeks, he goes to bed all by himself, and STTN (woot).
