The key things with an illness such as ME/CFS which tends to fluctuate is to have provided detailed explanations of your ability to reliably complete the PIP activities on the majority of days,
I'm a ME sufferer myself and condition varies from managed (although severely restricted), pre-crash and crash and I had to explain my capabilities for each of these situations and for each of the activities that I have problems with.
You make also have discreet limitations from your different conditions and you need to list and explain these as well, for example my depression is equally limiting for some of the activities as the ME.
One area that is poorly understood is post-exertional malaise and I included a couple of short reference documents about this particular symptom.
