Arthritis
I have sufferd with arthritis for about 25 years. Each year my doc would try out new meds. About 5 years ago he put me on Methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug. I have never liked it, so last June I decided to stop ALL my meds. No problem, doc was not happy, but as I said to him, my body. I noticed my spectacles did not seem to be doing the job,that worried me, as I knew some of the meds did affect eyesight.
Had an eye test on Tuesday, and picked up fabulous new specks yesterday. The old ones were too strong for me!! Since stopping the meds my eyes had got better, back to a pescription strength from about 10 years ago!! 
The pain my doc promised would come back, so far has not, maybe the odd twinge, but nothing a paracetamol can not take away!
