These could be live cam hours, phone chat hours, or cumulative hours from lots of people watching your recorded content. You just need to figure out how to arrange your working life so you can create and sell enough entertainment working with the time and energy that you do have.
Camming on a freechat-based site is taxing, but it's also still the fastest way to make money. You'd probably do better on Streamate than Cams - it's still the place with the most traffic, glitches or no glitches. If you can, try to sell fetish and domme shows - talking and teasing is much less exhausting than writhing in a sexy manner. Set the broadcaster to record your shows; you can turn them into clips later.
With that said, during slow times like now exhausting yourself in freechat is a very poor use of your time. Able-bodied girls have the luxury of wasting their energy like that, because they can rely on being able to do it again tomorrow. If you're not sure you'll be able to work tomorrow, using your time today to best effect is crucial. What that means for you is hard to say without knowing your circumstances, but it could be throwing 80% of your energy into clips and only logging into freechat during the few days around payday, or it could be learning to splitcam several freechats, or it could be going indy.
If you don't have many other demands on your time when you're off cam, register for phone sites, and just leave them on whenever you're not sleeping. Phone money doesn't come as fast as cam money, but once you build up regulars, waiting for them to call you is a lot less tiring than sitting in free chat waiting for your cam regulars to get a show. Personally, this is what saves my ass, as I find clips too taxing to make, but it might be different for you and you rock the video hustle, so try and see.
Clips or audio files - the income builds up very slowly, but if you allocate an hour of your time to create a clip, and build up to a library of work you like, not only do they bring you passive income, but you can also use them to advertise custom clips, which do pay very nicely.
It's super unfair that we sick girls can't rely on the good old ass-in-chair method to grow our income, but there's still ways and means. You got this. *fistbump*
