Awake

Just wondering if anyone else has struggled to sleep after half dose of Ocrevus? I am wide awake. Could it have been the steroid? Most people report tiredness after Ocrevus πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Any thoughts, much appreciated.

Even coffee doesn’t keep me awake, over the last year fatigue has been terrible, I’m probably only awake 12 hours a day.
