Different for everyone I realise, but a friend of mine with ME escaped a bad crash by forcing herself to walk as hard as she could for 10 minutes first thing in the morning and after last meal of the day. After a couple of days she began to feel gradually better and has never suffered a comparable crash since (this is about 5 years ago). She still gets some unexplained fatigue but nowhere near as bad as it used to be and feels better mentally too.
Like I say, I know that it is different for everyone but it may help, though it may be something you have tried before.
