Seriously?! SERIOUSLY?!
I'm starting... ANOTHER FLAREUP. Freakin' hell, I'm not even done with the last one. Major skin involvement pushing outward again, very painful rapid growth appearing on joints, and swelling beginning AGAIN. Hair is brittle and bleeding is becoming more profuse.

Leaving Florida...
Well, after a night of pain-from-hell, some soul searching, and talking over things with my family and so forth, I have decided that health *must* come first.
