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???

How long have you been taking the neurontin. My experience was that they started me on low dosages and gradually increased the dosages until I got to a point where I have releif. It took about a month for me to tritrate up to the correct dosage.
