Hello Patch and as I see you're fairly new, I wanted to welcome you to NeuroTalk.

Av8rgirl has given you an excellent reference to visual symptoms of MS (along with lots of other things), and hopefully you'll get some good information from that link. It's good to know that Diplopia (as it's called) usually resolves without treatment, but some doctors like to give a short course of steroids to the hurry the resolution up a bit.

I know it must be frustrating for you not having a definite diagnosis even though your neurologist is thinking you could have a neurological condition, but you may not be aware that approximately 5% of people with MS have "normal" MRIs.

I guess you already know that MS is diagnosed on a heap on investigations and past medical history is big part of the equation. MRIs are only one part of the process, so try not to put too much emphasis on just one investigation.

Anyway, welcome to the site. I hope you get some answers soon.
