Micro-breweries and distilleries are taking over, my favorite is the mead startups personally.
I mean, what I'm hearing from you wears is that, you need something that can 1. make money, 2. operate somewhat self-sufficiently, 3. is enjoyable for the days you have the energy to enjoy it but can still (see 2). 4. Makes the world a better place (which kind of vague, but then again, alcohol kind of makes the world a better place, alcohol was just my one example of course) 5. doesn't cost a ton of money to start, but enough that it keeps every other joe blow from doing it, cause then everyone would be making money right?
The one thing that comes to mind is housing, I realize that maybe where you live that's not possible, but there are a lot of states or cities, my own, or say detroit, where housing is ....widely and cheaply available. Owning rentals and managing them is...a headache, you have to have hope that you find a good tenant who won't trash your place but also pay on time and not have a lot of problems.
However, if it sounds interesting, I would suggest you check out your local Sheriffs Sales. Foreclosures are both risky and rewarding and sometimes you get really lucky, like 5k to buy + another 5k in renovations making 500/month, pay-off in 2 years and afterwards nothing but money.
The other option is flipping.
Other ideas: Think Tank/human computer, I'm not sure how to get into such a field, but there are jobs out there of people who do nothing but situational thinking, trying to break into security systems, brainstorming, whatever. It sounds like you have a very brilliant and active mind, you just need something to do with it, perhaps being part of a think-tank could be a good use of your brain, which is crippled by a body that hurts the way yours does.
And on talking about your limitations, in the coming years, technology might actually help you somewhat overcome your inability to get out of the house. Already they have limited capability with thought reading devices which can move the mouse on a computer screen, some tech watches where your eyes move to anticipate "opening" windows or folders, even other tech has made is possible for people to simple speak commands and their computer performs tasks. VR is making strong headway and perhaps a wearable device is in the near future that is affordable.
Become a host for a popular mmorpg, like mine craft, setup a server, or host one and then invite all of your friends and acquaintances to pay a very small (1-5 dollar/month) service fee and boom profit.
You could also potentially write a book, people love a story and it sounds like you've got one. People enjoy reading about hope, about persistence, Tell your story, explain to people how you've been every which way and loose and how you've kept your head about you til now.
