Default Polyneuropathy

Doctor just reviewed my EMG tests and told me I have this disease.

Is it the same as Periphereal Neuropathy. Will the damage be reverse or will it get worst I will eventually lose the use of my legs and arms?

I am type 2 diabetic with kidney disease. I am currently on a short term disability from my job. My doctor could not give me a definite date to return back to work. Some have mention SSA benefits does anyone here have this disease.

I currently take neurontin (which does not work) and have tried cymalta, lyrica and amitriplyine as well. Pain is horrible and most nights I do not sleep.

Getting depressed and frustrated that I can not get a break from this pain. All of my joints hurts, especially my hips and shoulders, it is very difficult to walk. Anyone out there with this condition???
