      Central dysautonomia. Basically, my autonomic nervous system can’t regulate my body temperature (among other things) all the time.

        What triggers it being unable to? Like it decides to just not work sometimes, or is it like a battery percentage?

          Physical stress seems to do it the most. For example, if I get sick or injured (such as have surgery), everything starts to go haywire.

          Often it’s more random seeming but with less extreme impacts.

          But also, as you said, it can be like a battery percentage. Like, I get more and more and more worn down over a handful of hours or days or weeks, and then that causes a bunch of other symptoms. I’ve learned to pace myself to avoid that.
