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.
Hmmmm.... if your arm span is longer than your height, that is a general indicator for Marfan's syndrome. Were you ever tested for that? This genetic disorder, affects the collagen in the body and also the aorta integrity (and other blood vessels). I'd consider discussing this with your doctor, as many women are hidden with this disorder.
