A member asked:
I have raynaud's phenomenon, and chronic constipation for 3-4 years (colonoscopy clean, high fibre diet). should i be worried about scleroderma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some chance: A small number of people who have Raynaud's also develop scleroderma. Note the SMALL NUMBER. Just keep up with your health providers recommendations for the Raynaud's and be vigilant.
