Multiple Sclerosis Help

Hello Everyone,
My name is Cecily Norine, the man up there is Christian Norine. Christian has multiple sclerosis, he was diangosed four years ago when he was 23, a small year after we got married.
He got his first symptom before we were married, he lost vision in his left eye, and it was so sensative to the light he couldn't see, he had to walk around with an eye-patch. People actually pointed, some laughed thinking he was dressing to look cool.
It was his eye doctor that suggested MS, he couldn't see because of optic neuritus, and Dr. Hardy from Elkhorn Vision Center referred him for some MRI's.
The neurologist explained that it might be MS, and it might not be, that he'd need a second symptom to be offically diagnosed, and to be put on medicine.
So we waited...got married and a year later, he lost his feeling and motor function on the right side of his body, from head to toe.
More tests were needed, another MRI, more doctor appointments. Dr. Nicole Clark from Saint Peters Hospital, who will always be greatful to, diagnosed Christian with MS in November 2011.
We moved out of our home we were renting, and moved into my parents basement apartment while we paid off medical debt to get back on our feet, and with their help and the help of friends and family a month ago, we bought a house.
Since we caught it early...it was supposed to be the end, his medicine would stop any further progression, or so we thought.
June 14, 2015 Christian was hit with severe vertigo, couldn't see clearly, couldn't walk straight. I told him it was probably an inner ear infection and we scheduled and appointment with Dr. Wampler at Saint Peters Hospital. He told us it wasn't an inner ear infection and quickly ordered a set of MRI's. June 30, 2015 we got his results, new plaque had formed, his MS is progressing.
To the people who are taking the time to read all of this, I can't thank you enough for just taking the time to read this.
Since we bought a house, we can't just move back into my parents basement, medical bills will continue to stack and I don't know if I can manage it on my own.
His work is being supportive, but he will still miss many days and we're going to need groceries, gas, electricity...right now the only thing we spend extra on is Internet, Netflix, and Hulu and I have already dropped everything else to save money, such as getting my nails done.
My husband is always going to have this disease, and I won't need help all of the time, but please, anyone who has even a dollar to spare...help me afford the proper care for my husband. We'll be going to the MS Center in Missoula for further study anything to help my husband live a long life.
Please help if you can.
