Gilenya weakness / fatigue

Hi everyone, I started on Gilenya about 2 weeks ago. I had no side effects for the 1st week but over the last week I've felt very weak. Less strength in my legs and somewhat fatigued. I see that these are reported as side-effects. Has anyone else experienced this on Gilenya ? Did it pass ?
