I just reread my skin biopsy and I think stillHoping is right. It states "thick sections revealed marked reduction of innervation of epidermis and of dermal structures such as glands, hair follicles, and blood vessels consistent with axonopathy of small cutaneous sensory axons". So does this mean that the glands, follicles and blood vessels are still there just not getting the blood (circulation) they need to function properly vs "being destroyed?" I wish the doctors could show me a picture of what is actually happening!
