I 've had similar, fluctuating chronic illness, can mostly pass as normal, until I got so consistently sick I couldn't. That was a shocker to the psyche.
Things I learned:
Internalized ableism - shame about being vulnerable is socially constructed horseshit.
Internalized capitalism - just because I am not "productive" doesn't mean I am not valuable.
Disability Pride - that community has changed my whole framing, is very inclusive, and I can use my bits of ableness to advocate.
