What jobs can you guys tolerate?

I've been off work around 4 months now after quitting my last job as it was making my fatigue, dizziness, and joint pain unbearable to work.

I'm at university for nursing, but I don't see myself working that as a job due to my health or even finishing it (clinical hours = standing upright...)

I have no family to support me and live in a small blue collar town (30k people).

I'll be out of savings in maybe 6 months if I stretch it out.

Every day I'm so fatigued and dizzy I can't take care of my apartment, and the second I eat my day is ruined (tachycardia, Confusion, dizziness, fatigue) and I spend the rest just laying down.

Currently on ivabradine and starting cromolyn sodium soon (but maybe not, I can't afford it).

I can't imagine a job that a) i can work b)I can keep c) pay enough for living or treatment and d) a job that means i don't instantly become so fatigued when home that I can't take care of myself
