Interesting you say no problem with flying in the UK with a deviation.
I've been battling the CAA for the last year to have my OML restriction removed from my Class 1 (initial was taken June last year).
Looks like they wont remove it, and I'm really looking at the prospects of employment post-qualifying. I understand that theoretically there is no difference between me and any other new first officers looking for their first job, but the reality is that will anyone employ the potentially unhealthy candidate, or the healthy one?
Sadly it's near impossible to find that information out!
