Be your own best advocate
As a 56-year-old who survived the loss of a job by working two jobs for a while as a way to get real perspective on making the change, I don't feel any obligation to disclose health concerns to a potential employer any more than I do to a potential client. (I am now self-employed.)
Most people on the planet have some kind of problems that make them less than ideal candidates for a job or contract work. I think we all would be amazed if we knew how many of the people we deal with actually have significant health problems of one kind or another -- some even have multiple health problems that a potential employer might want to avoid -- but I don't think people with health problems should take on that burden in behalf of the better interest of employers.
The ideal is to find something you really do like to do, and then find a way to make money doing it. (Advice I once was given and it still makes good sense to me!) Do what you can to OPEN as many doors to possibilities, even the strangest ones, and then try what you think suits you.
