I would ask my doctor this question. I've never taken Ocrevus so I don't know about stopping that. Age may also come into play here. What your MRIs have been showing also is important Blessings to you.
I’m gonna second the motion to not stop what’s working for you- if it’s working it means no new lesions. No new lesions mean less disability over time. In my twenties I mistakenly followed a doc’s advice who thought “maybe I don’t need the medication; I’m doing so well.” I incurred A LOT of damage (increase in lesions) in my trial off. I regret ever going off meds. And they were “asymptomatic lesions” at the time btw…altho I feel like twenty years later I am feeling the effects of those lesions that happened way back then
Anything that is going to stop or slow the progression of the disease is worth taking as far as I am concerned. You will not get back what you have lost, so keeping what I have is more than enough reason to stay on Ocrevus for me. I have PPMS. I am also trying to get in a clinical trial that reduces my inflammation. I will do anything to not regress. I am 60 and not ready to give in, too much life to live.
@A MyMSTeam Member, I know you are a busy bee. Working, dealing with MS and a great single dad. We wish you well, brother. 🤗
