fingernails and sensitivity

Has anyone else on infergen or peg, noticed nails seem to grow faster? I also have this feeling like there is something under my nails, but there isn't. I keep picking at them.
Also there is this sensative feeling, not sure how to describe it on my hands.
I have picked up this nervous habit of running fingers over nails!
Thanks
Deb
