Hi @Hugo, thanks for the update, and I have to say I think that’s an important thing to clock.
As I’m sure you well know, fatigue is something that can come with both Essential Thrombocythemia and hydroxycarbamide, particularly in the early weeks, and it can take a bit of time to work out what your new normal looks like - especially when your normal has always involved throwing yourself at things physically. It’s worth mentioning the tiredness to your haematology team when you go for your bloods, just so they’ve got the full picture.
We have some website information on blood cancer and fatigue, and we have this previous ‘Ask the Nurses’ thread about managing fatigue, plus you might also find this forum thread about ET and fatigue contains some useful advice in it.
Take care,
