Hi Tisha! I am so sorry for what you are going through.
It really sucks to have so many things going on in your body.
I agree with everything that Dejibo said. 
With a new baby and an unemployed husband, plus all your symptoms, it is very frustrating. Do. Not. Give. Up. Whatever you do, keep going. I've never heard of MS Centers. I went to two MS Specialists, who turned out to be oh so wrong for me.
Back in the early 1990s when I was diagnosed, I had finally found a doctor who took the time to go over all of my symptoms, one by one. He then asked which three are the most debilitating to you? He sent me to a neurologist, who actually yelled at me "no one can have this many symptoms". So, he sent me to another neurologist. The third he sent me to went over my clinical history, did an MRI of my brain and cervical spine, spotted two lesions; performed a lumbar puncture which produced bands; and gave me the diagnosis of MS.
You just have to somehow find a doctor who will sit down and listen to you. Be sure to keep a journal. In mine, I list my medications, doctor's visits (what my problems are, what the doc recommends), tests, etc. In other words, anything to do with my health.
I wish you all the best.
