Hi all, I haven't posted much lately, been working since August.

Anyway, I read an article the other day that people with Charcot Marie Tooth's have really high arches. I have really high arches in my feet. Also, as a child I wore corrective braces on my legs/feet to assist in the strengthening of my ankles and direction of my feet turning in.

I was never diagnosed with this disease, but my PN was also diagnosed as idiopathic. I was a VERY active child. Swam, played many sports, and even as an adult I was active until I was 35 years old when I returned to college and gained weight. At the age of 45 I started getting the symptoms of PN.

What do you think? I haven't done a LOT of research into it, but it sure is interesting that people with high arches suffer with CMT, which is a reason for having PN!!!!!
