A member asked:
I am a 20 year old female with raynaud's (not yet diagnosed). i am wondering, is it more likely that i have primary to secondary raynaud's syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary: Many young women have Raynaud's (blanching of fingers in the cold). The vast majority have primary Raynaud's without an underlying disease. A detailed history, physical exam, and labs help tell whether yours is primary or secondary

Can you be 48 and still just have primary raynauds or is it most likely secondary- no other symptoms but had a past postive ana at 1:40 then a negative one after that.
Husband has sudden onset of Raynauds. Fingers turn white and blue. Waiting on rheumatologist test results. He does have thalassemia. Sed rate is elevated at 17. Does that mean its most likely secondary and not primary Raynaud ?
