User Profile Sync not working after March CU

Question

It appears that since installing the March CU for Sharepoint 2013, the user profile service is no longer working correctly. The status for user syncronization is always in a "Stopping" phase and the event logs are reporting the following every
hour... Do I have to take out the entire service and reinstall it, or is their a way to fix it?

I had rebooted days ago... I have rebooted a couple of times today before posting here... Didn't help...
I found a procedure on another link that looked like it would reset the syncronization database, but that doesn't appear to have worked out any better. The procedure was a follows:
$syncDBType = "Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.SynchronizationDatabase"
$upaSAType = "User Profile Service Application"
$syncDB = Get-SPDatabase | where-object {$_.Type -eq $syncDBType}
$upa = Get-SPServiceApplication | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq $upaSAType}
$syncDB.Unprovision()
$syncDB.Status = "Offline"
$upa.ResetSynchronizationMachine()
$upa.ResetSynchronizationDatabase() 
$syncDB.Provision() 
restart-service SPTimerV4 
This appears to have completely reset the syncronization database to the point where I don't even see tables and views any more in that database. That sounded good, but the "User Profile Synchronization Service" wont start and it doesn't appear to be able
to provision the database. I am trying to start the service using the farm account and I know the password is good...
