Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

We took out a loan through Wells Fargo July 2005. We were unaware that the loan was as ARM, yet we signed the form at closing (unsure how we missed that one) 2 years later, after a failed loan modification attempt, we sold our property as a short sale, we were given an interest free loan for the equity difference and have been paying religiously ever since. We are hitting hard financial times and was reviewing paperwork. If our original loan included Mortage Insurance should that have covered any portion of our equity difference ? Also, Is there any way to negotiate after all this time?

Thank You. K.B.
