Brief Answer:
The chances of relapse are very low.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your clinical details. I am glad to note that you have been doing well and have had no relapse of your condition. The chances of relapse are very low (2-5%).
No periodic tests are needed.
Clinical assessment and follow up is fine. If you notice any worsening of weakness in legs or a new weakness in hands, you should consult a neurologist.
From USA, you could consult me online via whatsapp video.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
