Oh yes - I've just got that far now with my research! My arches are high but not like that nor the clubbed hammer toes etc. My neuro tested heel toe abd said there was clumsiness but not concerningly so. Still maybe some of the neuro muscular mechanisms behind it are similar - only autoimmune? I'm just not scientific enough to be able to comprehend but have to instead rely on my Sherlock blood hound instincts when I focus in on symptoms!
