lupus raynaud's

Hi, my mother is 54 years old and she is suffering from lupus. It makes her many problems and when she has visited her doctor few days ago he told her that she is suffering Raynaud’s phenomenon too. I thought that Raynaud’s is different disorder but I am confused now.

Hi, Raynaud's phenomenon may be primary disorder when it is only thing someone is suffering from and it can be secondary disease when it is accompanied to other disorder. Your mother is experiencing this second option and unfortunately that form of Raynaud's disease is more severe. It is affecting both hands and legs and symptoms are harder.
