6th Cranial Nerve Palsy?

Question

Has anyone had 6th cranial Nerve Palsy (which can cause double vision in one eye) and recovered within 1 to 6 months naturally (without medical intervention)?

Common causes include diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis.  It can also occur when involved in a recent trauma or even a lumbar puncture (spinal tap.  Usually follow up visits with a neurologist are recommended.  Once diagnosed in the ER, we consult with a neurologist and send them home.  After that, I don't know the lasting effects or how it becomes resolved.  Hope this helps a little.

I also fell and hit my head on a carpet floor. Woke a few days later with double vision. I recovered from the double vision in 2.5 mnths. Not fully but in time I did.(98% perhaps) The nerve palsy still occurs though and wakes me during REM sleep at times.
