I was not DX as of yet. I had ON about eight months ago which cleared up with other effects. My Optic nerves look good now. With MS does ON come and go?? Can it just clear up and that be the end of it??? I have no walking issues with the other signs that i have,can you still have MS without having walking issues??

Yes, you can have MS without walking issues. ON comes and goes in average cases, but each individual is different. It can stick around forever just like it can disappear and never bother you again.

Hope you feel better soon!

A good book to read about ON and MS is Blindsided by Richard Cohen.
You can get it at the library. He describes in the book his onset of MS and the many times he has had to deal with ON.
