How much water do you drink day-to-day?
I've recently been discovering I'm chronically super dehydrated, and it turns out you feel like shit all the time when you're dehydrated!
At minimum I now hear you're supposed to drink 64oz/day, or better, your body weight / 2 in oz.
Anyway, this was something very basic that escaped me for years, it's the sort of thing that is so simple nobody pays attention to it, but it has a very big impact on your whole system.
I'm not saying it's your root problem, but if you are dehydrated along with the CFS, fixing that should still improve your day-to-day noticeably.

(I'll spare you the details but certain indices were starting to go outside the safety zones.) What a local doctor off-handedly told me once was "drink 1 liter per 25kg of body weight a day, make sure to drink the first liter in your first 1-2 waking hours, and stop actively drinking water 3 hours before going to slep -- but from then on just get a few sips if you are thirsty". The last is helping you not wake up to pee 3 times a night and trust me, that advice is well-grounded in reality! As you say, it's a very basic thing that escapes many of us our entire lives but it definitely helped me fix a problem with a slightly thick blood and arythmia (the latter is not yet fully gone but the remainder is attributed to other factors). It also got me rid of a tense head -- I've felt like my had was between two heavy plates for years, and this is gone for 3-4 years now.
