There are too many stories about people who have innocently reported themselves to the CAA, only to find themselves grounded pending rigorous testing by the CAA medical staff - for months, and months and months.
About three years in my case. But I wasn't actually grounded because in those days you could get an NPPL declaration (which my GP was happy to sign) and fly under SSEA rules (and of course during that time I never went anywhere near the inside of a cloud, did I).
