Stopping DMT after 60?

I am wondering if anybody has stopped taking DMT after the age of 60? I am on Ocrevus and have had stable MRIs for several years now. I have been reading that some studies show staying on a DMT after 60 is not necessary because at that age our immune system is less active. Thoughts or experiences anybody? Thank you

Going by what my neurologist has told me it depends how old you are and when you get the disease. he says generally the relapsing period lasts for 15 years thus I got Ms when I was 31 and he is going to keep me on the drug until I'm 50 thus a 4yr margin of safety.

My last MRI found a new lesion and I'm 61. My neuro hasn't mentioned stopping my DMT. I would fight to keep on it if they did.
