Hi everyone,
I am in the process of being diagnosed but it looks pretty sure that I have SD. I am not sure yet if it is 1 or 2. I am going to the cardiologist next Tuesday and he will schedule an echocardiogram. Then the pulmonary tests. I have had RA my entire life since age 5. My recent ANA was very positive. I have Reynauds and have had it for years. My hands are red and then within seconds turn normal. I am so concerned right now. I just found this board and thought I would join. Thanks everyone, Renee

Welcome! I have been out of town, so I have not been on here in almost 2 months. But, welcome to the zoo. We are a very friendly bunch. If you wonder what we look like, there are lots of pictures in the Photo section.
