I was in a similar situation, minus the physical disability (I was mentally in a really bad place though). The only advise I have is to not think of any job as below you. I don't know your exact situation or your disabilities, but if you can deliver pizzas to at least keep your head above the water, do that. Having gone through YC you're obviously also a bright and intelligent person, how many different companies have you tried consulting for? Some companies could be more understanding than others of your situation, in which cases making 1500 a month shouldn't be a huge problem in this industry. Sorry you're going through this friend..

I’ve met folks in unusual industries that need ongoing tech work/knowledge but have no desire to have this knowledge and effort in house. Medical device manufacturing was one such field. (work was government compliance, and server patching/network maintenance)

This. I had two tries at starting up last decade, failed. Good for me, I had some back up plans. Beyond all, I realised, a regular salaried job is a privilege. There is nothing wrong in taking up a full time 9-5 job. In my case I had a full time job, before, and just continued it after my venture went under water. For some reason such a job which is something most people aspire for, is considered some sort of a failure in entrepreneur community. You get a salary every month, with annual bonus, and health care plus vacation covered. How is this failure? If anything this is the best thing that can happen to many people on this planet.
I'd advice the OP to consider taking up a full time job. If you have started up and seen any amount of success at all, chances are you will do good at interviews and eventually at your job. Do this for a few years until, fix your health and finances- and then work from there.
