I have a few long term chronic medical conditions. one affects my heart and the other the muscles of my body as well as my temperature, stomach, brain and eyes. When I say muscles I mean every muscle such as lungs, womb, intestinal muscles, bowel and bladder. I don't really take advance bookings anymore as I cannot guarantee what days I can work and I had to stop touring as it took too much out of me
Now I work a couple of days a week and only see a couple of clients a day. Nowhere near as much money as before but I have had to put my health before work. I have also had to learn what my body can easily withstand and what is too much. You never want to get to the point of too much as it can leave you out of work for days or weeks. It is better to only do what is comfortable for you and stop before you get to a stage that it has any detriment on your health.
with any long term illness you need to learn to pace yourself. Not just with work but with social activities and sometimes even cleaning the house. Its finding the right balance and it does take time as well as errors in getting it right. It has gotten worse recently and now have to wear a rigid back and neck brace so can only work a few hours at a time as need to wear it most of the day. I cant exactly work in it as it is hard plastic and covers my back and my front so it would not only be too awkward it is not exactly sexy

All I can say is find a pace your body is happy with and stick to it. Also I am not sure if yours is a disability or not but some are and even if you work you may be entitled to PIP (used to be DLA). It is not means tested so it doesn't matter how much you earn as there are two components, the mobility side and the care side. One helps pay for transport or a car if on the higher rate (for those who cant walk) and one pays for help around the home or for small adaptions that may be needed. Although it does depend on what is wrong and how it restricts you That's if you can be bothered with the hassle of trying to claim it as I know people that applied a year ago and are still waiting for an assessment as they are that far behind
