Diet is pretty straightforward. Eat healthy and avoid processed foods and contaminants in the foodstream that are pro-inflammatory and pro-cancerous. Specific things to avoid in the foodstream, include pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, xenoestrogens, BPAs, and other contaminants. there is some good evidence to support an anti-inflammatory diet. Many choose to use a Mediterranean Diet for this reason. Very tasty food that is good for you. here is a presentation on diet and MPNs

I would recommend a fatigue clinic. I had to keep a diary of activities for 3 wks.

It showed I was expecting way too much from my body.

A healthy nutritional diet is essential for energy and general health, you could also check thyroid, hormones,iron and maybe vitamin levels inc B12,especially if you have not been eating optimally, also some of our PV cytoreductive meds can fatigue more than others. With MPN something like 90% report fatigue. It has been shown regular exercise helps with MPN fatigue especially the puff and panting ones, eg brisk walks, cycle ,jog, stairs etc etc, say 30 mins a day or so, if your not used to it build up slowly.
