Best wishes for the OP.
IIRC, you can also do sport pilot if you had a medical and let it lapse.
I think the deal-breaker is having had your medical yanked by the FAA at some point...if that happened you need to get it back before you do Sport Pilot.
But regardless, Sport Pilots "self certify" so if you go fly you are essentially stating that you don't have any disqualifying issues...that you know about. A past issue which you reasonably believe is resolved should be fine as long as you never lost your medical.
