I know how you feel. And school makes everything harder. I too have all the inclination to get my fibro checked out, but not the funds. Stoopid lack of insurance!
The big thing to remember with fibro is getting as much sleep as you can. I agree with the massage idea-- is there a student health clinic on your campus? Normally they'll offer some kind of massage at a reduced rate, and you might be able to charge it to your school bill. I hear ya about stretching $30 for a month. I always attended every open party, fundraiser or social (even Black Student's Union!) just to find some free food I could munch on. Happy hours are great for that too-- don't even bother buying a drink, just slide up to the buffet and fill up a plate. How about a soup kitchen, or food line? Can you get your hands on some free chow anywhere? Don't laugh, I did that too, just showing up at a church and telling them I was homeless. Boy, those women gave so many loaves of bread and apples (ugh! apples!) I didn't know what to do with them. Can you hit up your family for a care package? Go to lunch at a friend's parents' house and raid the fridge? Have a byo everything party and invite everybody? (Hm, I STILL do this!  )
Deep breaths, Mel. I know it's bad now. Get your friends and family and circle the wagons. Don't let yourself get sick over this. You have to look after yourself. Best of luck to you--
