Congratulations on your success!
We are all different, but for many of us, once HU tamps down ET's manic overproduction of platelets, we gradually get our energy back.
Hope you will experience that too!

That was my pattern, too. Extreme fatigue, then improvement after I started HU. I think age can also slow us down. So can stress over having ET. If ET comes on in late middle age, there may be hormonal changes. It takes time to try different things and adjust to all these changes. I remember those menstruation and reproduction films they showed us in girls phys ed back in the 60s with the bunny rabbits and butterflies. Sometimes I feel I could use a film to about being an old lady!
