Graves’ disease hyperthyroidism remission and reoccurrence rates

Hi everyone. I’m try to find out some information regarding remission and reoccurrence rates for hyperthyroidism. I’m lucky enough to have been well and euthyroid without any therapy for over 10 years following a 18 month course of Carbimazole. I’ve had an application to join the Army Reserve turned down due to high reoccurrence rates following treatment with Carbimazole, 36% chance within 2 years of finishing medication was the stats provided back to me. Obviously my course was a lot longer ago than 2 years so was wondering if my percentage chance has decreased. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
