Brilliant David thank you - I have stored that on my home screen and will now pass it on to anyone who next says that to me!! So well put by - whenever I have attended a MPN Day the two things every patient says are most hard to deal with are the fatigue - and people saying but you look so well!! Thanks for passing your article on.
