Private contract work maybe? Or maybe try teaching or tutoring? Something you can arrange around an appointment shedule that can accomodate your needs. I feel you man. I'm disabled and living on welfare and no one wants to hire a legally blind epileptic that can't drive, it's just to much of a liability issue for them.

Thanks, but I’m too disabled even for that now, because everyone requires some amount of office time – even if it’s absolutely unnecessary.

Even my doctors are now requiring yearly in-person visits, though they never did before, and even though I’m 100% medically homebound. I’m currently trying to square a circle to get my heart meds refilled. Back in 2021 it was no problem, but now they’re saying insurance post-Covid requires a yearly in-person visit regardless of circumstance, because people were abusing it, so no tolerance.

I don’t expect it to change. I’ve had a chronic pain condition for a long time but can’t get pain meds either (per insurance) because people have abused that. So I just take enough OTC Tylenol to ruin my liver and cry.

Insurance rules fuck people with chronic conditions, all the time.
