A member asked:
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 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is little way to know if it is primary or secondary without more test results. A sed rate of 17 is not very significant. You need to see what the rheumatologist says about all the test results. Whatever the diagnosis is, treatment can be provided. Best of luck to both of you!

When shoveling snow or out in cold weather my fingers get cold & hurt. When I get inside and use warm water its better. They may be red from the cold but not white or blue. Is this raynauds or just normal from the cold and maybe wrong gloves?
