Washing my hair

I hate washing my hair and brushing my hair now. It is easy enough to forget that you are losing your hair when you put on a hairpiece that matches your natural color and texture so your appearance hasn't been altered too much. But when you wash your hair and clumps come out, there is the reminder.
My legs are nice and smooth now. I haven't shaved in over a week. A couple stray hairs growing long though. Not enough to notice. I'm going to keep them there to show the dermatologist on Wednesday to prove to her that it is universalis. She didn't even check five weeks ago when she gave me the injections.
While I thought I saw tiny hairs growing in the bald patch on my arm, it could have been that they just hadn't fallen out yet.
I read about how a sunburn will destroy some of the T cells and halt the progression of alopecia. Yesterday I decided that I would try to get some sun. Unfortunately, it was overcast. Any UV rays I received outside weren't enough to give me a burn. Maybe I'll try again after work if there is sun.
