The standard guidance on how to function as an independent contractor really doesn't suffice here - the other people I know with ongoing health problems have had a hard time, and my expenses always manage to dwarf my income even though I follow the basic steps. (I keep raising my rates though, so I'll probably eventually reach the right balance...)
