Job change from salary to contractual

My salaried job turned into an hourly/contractual job in the middle of this calendar year --
 
  • How do I claim my health expenses which had initially been pretax but are now post-tax? (I'm currently using COBRA for my family at roughly 2k a month) 
  • Can I now claim the office space that I use to do my work as a deduction (I also use the office for my role as a P/T adjunct professor for an online class)? Can I claim the office space for the entire year, even if I was using it as a salaried employee for the first five month?
  • Are there other common deductions that I should be considering for this transition?
