I have been diagnosed with primary raynauds. could i develop secondary raynauds?

Yes: Primary raynaud's (raynaud's disease) means that no cause has been found for the raynaud's symptoms. If symptoms of another disease, such as an autoimmune disorder, begin to appear later, then the primary raynaud's can be called secondary raynaud's (raynaud's syndrome) if the raynaud's symptoms are felt to be due to having the other disease.

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.
