My last biopsy--the good thing about them is they can be done repeatedly for comparison--showed me up to about 16th and 18th percentile at leg and thigh, respectively--I have gotten re-enervation and this corresponds to the reduction of symptoms. (I'm due for another one soon.) However, the problem is we have no idea how this compared to my nerve fiber density before my acute onset on April 11 2003.
