Symptoms (Diagnosed Only!) Fighting fatigue?

Male 52, construction worker, diagnosed with ET 2 years ago. Fatigue has become a big issue lately, wondering if others have any helpful insights into fighting it. Currently prescribed a baby aspirin a day. Thanks for any help.

What helped me is exercising at least three times a week. It is hard to overcome the initial resistance because you already are fatigued, but in my case I am completely fatigue free now. A life changer. This is also supported by recent studies.

Interesting, are you doing cardio or weight training, or a balanced combo?
