Thank you all so much! I cannot tell you all how much better this made me feel. It's nice to cry for good things instead of bad things!

I still have no idea what caused this flare but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Littlepaw, I usually have a decrease in my swelling with epsom salts as long as the water is the right temperature. I don't know why but it didn't work this time.

I can't thank you all enough for the support you have given me!
