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!

Good for you! I'm glad to hear of your success in dropping all of your arthritis medications. Exercise is very good, as was stated. But let's not leave out the important role of diet. What we eat has a profound impact on our overall health. There are foods that promote inflammation and foods that help prevent inflammation.
Good luck! You're on the right track.
