No: Tmj (temporal-mandibular joint) symptoms are not usually associated with raynaud's disease. Some of the medical conditions that can cause raynaud's syndrome are types of arthritis or autoimmune disorders, so there is a chance that a patient can have tm joint symptoms. Emotional stress can trigger raynaud's symptoms, and some people do have stress-related habits that worsen their TMJ symptoms.

No: Raynaud's disease is the body's localized reaction to stress or cold. The TMJ is damaged by over working the joint, dysfunction, trauma, autoimmune issues, disease, etc. It can be damaged like any other joint like your knee, elbow, hips etc. Cold/temperature stress probably does not affect the joint.

Not typically: Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition in which cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms that block blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. I have not really seen patients with raynaud's disease that also exhibit tmd. The immune system may be compromised and the patient may change habits (eating, chewing, posture, etc., which could contribute.

Unlikely: While TMJ symptoms can occur in any patient, I don't believe that raynaud patients have any higher association of TMD than other patients.
