Work from home ideas (living with a chronic illness)

Hi Guys,

I've been living with a chronic illness since I was a teenager however in the last 3 years it's been getting progressively worse with regular periods of hospital admission.
As I'm sick & unable to leave home most days it's impossible for me to maintain external employment. Since my employment terminated a couple of years ago I've survived on savings that I had which is heartbreaking especially now they've come to an end & im finding myself in debt.
I really want to be able to finance myself but I'm clueless as to what options I have the only opportunities I've come across are business schemes selling "faddy" products & I'm looking for something with more stability. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

    For starters you're best going through all the old 'Boost your Income' threads. And seeing is there anything there that you fancy.
