Love the fact that they mention height as a problem. Neither of my neurologists mentioned my height as a complicating factor, but as a 6'2" woman with a 36" inseam, nerve impulses have quite a trip to make. My wingspan is 78". Only my podiatrist said that my height definitely made my condition worse. The article doesn't mention hereditary neuropathies, but I have to assume it doesn't help my symptoms or progression.
