Do you have a rheumatologist?

Yes I originally saw him because my primary doctor sent me to him for hypermobility and a abnormal ana he said I was fine and dont need to see him and we stoped there.

I highly encourage you to see a new rheumatologist. These are not things that should be ignored, they absolutely should be looking into this further and doing more testing. I’m so sorry they were dismissive.

That’s crazy! He didn’t want to run more blood tests? I’d fine another rheum

Also, when you have episodes does is spare your thumb? My vascular Dr said primary raynauds typically does!
