Anyway: Having been there and done that medical cat malarky, your options, I am afraid to say are extremely limited.
On paper you are eligible to follow the same route as many who want to become airline pilots, dual pilot corporate pilots, offshore etc etc. BUT in real life why would anyone hire a guy with a medical restriction on their licence when (a) there are dozens out there who have clean licences and company insurers would not look kindly on the hiring of a guy with restrictions.

My advice is to pay £330 plus vat with an authorised AME in your local area (List is on CAA web site). Sit him down, tell him/her everything about your predicament and let them do an assessment on you. Then and only then will you be in a position to look ahead into aviation.

MEDICAL for a class 1 first (NO restrictions!!!). and then everything else will fall into place.

Good Luck bud.
