A member asked:
I get raynaud's in my right fingers and toes only? does this mean it is more likely secondary? what disorders can produce this symptom?

See details: Raynauds can involve only a single finger or toe or involve several or all of them. It may not be related to any other disease or may be a component of an underlying connective tissue disorder. I would suggest evaluation by a rheumatologist for anyone with raynauds.

Complicated answer: Raynaud's can be caused by a variety of disorders, or it can be a phenomenon with no known cause (idiopathic). The fingers and toes are nearly always involved in raynaud's from all causes. Disorders such as lupus, rhuematoid arthritis and scleroderma can have raynauds as a secondary feature. A rheumatologist can do testing to help determine if you have any of these disorders.

For 5 years I have been extremely cold, when everyone else is hot or warm. I am constantly shivering at school, and most of the time my fingers turn purple. I've done some research, and most of my symptoms look like they are symptoms of raynaud's disease.
