My wife has come down with a sickness and had to stop working. The doctors won't officially tell us it's MS but are telling us it is MS. I've got good insurance through work but it doesn't cover some of the special test to confirm until we've paid out almost 10 grand. Without those test she can't get disability either. With her out of work the last 6 months it's drained our savings. If anyone can help or has advice we'd appreciate it. As it stands after cutting everything out that we can and selling everything we don't need we will still come up short about 700 a month until she can get disability or go back to work. This is mainly just me needing to scream into the eather in frustration, but if anyone has advice or prayers we would appreciate them.

I've prayed for you fren. I'm sorry to hear about your wife and I hope you can get a definitive diagnosis soon so you know what you're dealing with. I wouldn't be surprised if some frens here post about treatment protocols.
As for your financial situation, I honestly don't know what to tell you. I know it's not ideal, but perhaps consider some type of go-fund me campaign to pay the doctor's bills until you get that outrageous deductible paid. Other than that - perhaps taking on a second job temporarily? Maybe doing customer service phone work from home? Perhaps that's something even she could do? If you both did it, it probably wouldn't take too many hours per week to make up that shortfall.
I have asked God to guide you and enlighten you on options and to give you a sense of peace that He is with you through this trial. I wish you all the best.
Thx
