It's a tough challenge man. I would say I'm sorry to hear it, but if you are really into zen or buddhism or the nondual type of thing then you know well that any external phenomena aren't done to us or sent to test us and actually all the suffering we experience is largely self-inflicted (i don't mean physical suffering of course, but how we respond as a result).
Have you thought about trying out alternative treatments like accupuncture? I know there isn't a lot of conclusive research out there except for joint pain, but it might be worth a try. You know we assume that doctors know everything because they are in positions of authority and use science, but in all honesty they are just scratching the surface even for simple conditions and are symptom-cause hunters more than anything else. You realise this when you see the fumbling and lack of knowledge that goes on first hand with treatment.
Anyways good luck with your condition and I hope you find a good balance. Every challenge also affords new opportunity even though it may seem hidden. :)
