Hi Babs,

Raynaud's Disease is not the main disease for me....it's secondary to the other stuff I have also....I've been checked for Lupus/Scleroderma/Sjogren's/Rheumatoid Arthritis....with further analysis why I have an elevated ANA...and it's negative of any of the above mentionned.

Irene, it's rare that Raynaud's is the main disease. It is almost

always secondary to another auto-immune disease. It is most likely

that you DO have lupus, or scleroderma or rheumatoid. Stupid doctors.

With an elevated ANA you can bet you have one of the above.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Hang in there!

Hugs!
