Obviously : Obviously you are very limited with what you write. You have to be evaluated by a rheumatologist and there are ways that you cam benefit from some medications with the help of different institutions .Medical offices try to arrange for those together with pharmaceuticals companies . There are good medications for the conditions you are describing that may put you back in doing everyday things and be eligible to work if you decide so and the economy allows you to.

Doubtful: To be eligible for disability usually means you cannot work at anything. Depends on your state but sounds like you have some medical issues and lost your job and that does not mean you are disabled
