I don't know if it will ever get better or go away, i agree with you about at lest it wont kill us. But at times the pain is so bad I can hardly wak let alone even try to do anything else, My doctor made me quit work when i lost 26 lbs in one month, I am tiny to begin with so losing that weight wasnt a good thing for me. Try to have your doctor put you on something for the depression, alot of the meds they give you for this cause depression. Just remember your not alone in this there are alot of us out there that are living and dealing with it also

Best wishes
