Default New here with 4th nerve palsy

I have double vision, with the image on the left being very askew.

A neuro ophthalmologist had told me that this should correct itself over the next 4-6 months. Has anyone experienced this?
Hello! I was diagnosed with 4th nerve palsy in my left eye this last Thursday. I have to keep a patch on my eye at all times because my vision is otherwise fractured and blurry. And it also causes me extreme dizziness, nausea and headaches. I am looking for any support groups out there. I have to wear the eye patch for 6 weeks then go back to the eye specialist. I am not allowed to drive, work, and I'm pretty much housebound :-(
