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
