Time between relapses

Does anyone know what the largest amount of time a person with MS has had between relapses or between their Clinically Isolated Syndrome first attack and their second attack?

It varies from person to person. I have never had a big attack. Never been on steroids. I just go to the Neurologist for routine checks.My PCP found my MS during my yearly exam.

A new relapse is distinguished as being at least one month later than a previous relapse.  Beyond that, there are no 'typical' timeframes.  Some patients go years before having another relapse, if at all.  Some have relapses several times per year.

That's a tricky question, because everybody is different.  For me - I would say approx 4 years if not longer - and then they were only minor relapses, like double vision and a bit of a wonky leg.
