Well the first thing is getting adequate rest and by adequate
I mean about 18 hours per day, if you have the energy to be up
for 6 hours even in hour long segments.
Then you may want to try the undenatured whey protein powder
which helps some people a lot. This is whey which is processed
at low temperature and "ultra-filtered" to remove pathogenic
organism then dried to be a convenient food supplment.
You may need other food supplement to support your recovery
but Cod liver oil, Vitamin C, and mineral supplements seem
especial valuable. Stay away from citrate compounds and foods
with a high citric acid content.
(About the citrate compounds. Last year my physician told
me to add Calcium supplementation to my mineral supplementation
effectively doubling my calcium intake. This meant taking an
additional 750 mg of Calcium daily and I chose the citrate form.
Over the next 11 months my endurance went down radically then
I got some information from one of the Dr. Cheney lecture
summaries that was floating around that indicated that
citrates might be bad for one with cfids and as soon as I
could I switched over. My endurance is better than it has
been in a long time after two months off the citrates and
by the way my bone density is pretty good too.)
Try to find a good diagnostician because a number of diseases
can have refractory post-exertional malaise as a symptom.
Name the symptoms you have and you will get better answers
here from people who have treated themselves for similar
problems.
Oh and you might want to give up stimulants like coffee
and tea along with sugary drinks or foods that might ferment
in your gut.

Happy Holiday and may the new year bring us all better
