Hi Lou Lou, I believe that we saw the same Professor for our skin biopsy. He said in advance of my test that there is the possibility that the nerves will be inflamed or affected by inflammation and will therefore show signs of 'splitting', he also used the words regeneration. I think he meant that if they are splitting they will appear to be regenerating as there will be more fibres due to the splitting of the original ones. So you aren't mad, this is exactly what he explained to me. It seems really feasible that there would be splitting and therfore more fibres as a result of that. Just hope that helps you with any treatment for the underlying cause.
