Doesn't it suck to be a poor starving student? Been there - done that - totally understand where you're coming from. My advice to you - use your savings. That's what they're there for. If you've only got till June to go, you can get some loans, or another job when you're feeling better. I don't know what there is in the US - but Canada has lots of student loans available. Ones with low interest rates that you can pay back once you are done school with a full time job. I know it sucks, but most people do it this way.
Might I suggest a luxury massage? I know it's definitely not a student thing, nor is it a budget thing, but it could really help with the fibro. See if you have insurance - a lot of insurance covers massages for therapeutic purposes. All you need is a Doctor's note. But that's Canada for you.

Do what you need now to get by. Worry about the cost later. I know how you feel - I was never one to spend money I didn't have. I hated using my savings, and getting a loan in my 5th year of university. But that's what I did to get through. You'll do what you must, too.
Hugs, Alicia.
