Chronic Pain members - Welcome, please introduce yourself

Hello, I am suffering with Chronic Pain Syndrome for the last 8 years. I have many other issues including Lewy bodies Dementia and Bipolar 1.
I try very hard to keep a positive attitude and find the simple beauties in each day, but the pain gets so bad that I crawl on the floor just to get around.
I have a little rescue dog and I feel she gives me hope each and every day.
At this point, I am very frustrated with the quality of care I am getting. I signed up to be able to speak with others who understand because my family just doesn't get it.
I'm not sure if this is the way I am supposed to introduce myself, but I figured I would just put it out there.

@eloise44 Hello there! You most certainly can introduce yourself anyway you'd like. We're happy to have you join the conversation and seek support. I understand family not getting it. Living with chronic pain and symptoms tends to be our own personal journey and it can be difficult for others who aren't in our shoes to imagine.
I love that you try to keep a positive attitude and persevere 😊,
that can be the best medicine. Also, having a support dog is incredible for you. How long have you had your dog?
You mention being frustrated with the quality of care you are getting. How would you like to see that change? How are you presently managing your symptoms?
