I'm looking for suggestions on increasing my income while also dealing with multiple chronic illnesses. This isn't a health forum, so I'll save the long story and just say that I was born with spina bifida, have had several surgeries on my spine and abdomen, and also have lupus, heart disease, and chronic kidney failure (I'm 34). I need to work from home because I take medications that impair my ability to drive safely, and they also cause dizziness, fatigue, etc. At home, at least I can rest when needed and then pick up my work later in the evening or early in the morning when I am feeling well.
I've tried working full-time, but the same thing always happens: I do well for a few months, and then I end up in the hospital and have to quit because I can't be a reliable employee. One doctor even told me to give up on working and file for disability, but I don't actually qualify (I'd also get less money in disability payments than I currently earn by freelancing; we'd be in an even worse position than we are now).
I've been doing a lot of freelance writing, but I am having a hard time finding clients willing to pay decent rates. I can't keep doing low-paying work; the less it pays, the more I have to do, and all the typing is killing my joints. I know how to set up WordPress websites, but I'm not a coder or website designer. I also have admin experience, so I can do all kinds of clerical/office work. I'm fairly entrepreneurial, so I'm also open to running some kind of business.
Any other ideas? I'm perfectly willing work hard, but I am restricted in what I can do. For example, I can't just go out and do junk removal or mow lawns because I'm not physically able to do that type of work.
