That's a very interesting variant. Since it works for healthy people as well, you can describe what changes more directly. It also captures that not all conditions are identical. For a healthy person, getting out of bed in the morning is maybe a level 1; making dinner is a level 2; going to the bathroom is a cantrip; maybe going to work is a level 3.
Now you have a chronic medical condition. With your particular condition, getting out of bed a level 3, you have no cantrips, and you need to spend 2-3 level 2's per week going to the doctor (rather than 2-3 per year). Now, you've used up your level 3's just by getting out of bed and going to work, you need to use level 1's to go to the bathroom, and you used a level 2 on a doctor appointment (so you're out of them by dinnertime).
Someone else may have no more difficulty getting out of bed, and may not need so many doctor appointments, but randomly once a month they just don't get any slots back in the morning. So, they need to keep that extra level 3 in reserve to go to work tomorrow in case that happens.
