Melissa, I too was pretty much on my own all throughout college. I had scholarships but still had to take out massive amounts of loans, which was scary. I hate going into debt like that. But, it was the only way to get my degree.
I say, take out the loans to get you through while still being able to take care of yourself and not working yourself to death...you'll only get sicker if you do that.
I'm so sorry you now have been diagnosed with Fibro. You'll make it though. I know you will. It will be rough, but you are a smart cookie with high goals and a good attitude!
I'm sorry Mac will be gone for a while. Why do you need to move? Maybe it would take some stress off of you if you could just stay put for a while. It's so hard moving.
Anyhow, I say take out loans! That's what I did, as I had no money from my family either. It's not the best situation, but if it comes to that to get your degree, pay the bills, and get a handle on all your health problems, it's well worth it, IMHO.
Let us know how you are doing. Love,
