Good News

I don't have syphilis. Two different doctors told me that I was exhibiting the signs of secondary syphilis. I had to get a blood test to convince one of them. It turns out I actually have Pityriasis Rosea, and there's not really anything they can do to treat it (it took 4 trips to 3 doctors to figure this out). The main concern about the syphilis was that I have a rash on the palm and the back of my hands. Someone asked if you could get syphilis from yourself and maybe that would explain why my hands were breaking out.

More good news, I'm no longer sleeping on the couch.
