It's too bad the FAA doesn't have a better system in place for people who no longer require the meds. Because if they did, I wouldn't have had to do this.

They do now - it's called the Sport Pilot rating. The only "medical" requirement is a valid driver's license. If you can legally drive a car you can fly certain small GA planes like the Cessna 150. If you still have the desire to fly then check that out. And of course there's still the Ultralight category where you can fly any ultralight and don't need anything.
