Nearly 90% of people with scleroderma have Raynaud's.

Raynaud’s phenomenon is a common medical condition, and most people with Raynaud’s will not develop scleroderma. But, nearly 90% of those with scleroderma DO have Raynaud’s symptoms. For this reason, Raynaud’s can be a “red flag” that helps lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of scleroderma.

This is why here, at the Scleroderma Research Foundation, we’re spreading the word for Raynaud’s Awareness Month. Delays in scleroderma diagnoses MUST end, and knowing more about Raynaud’s can help end those delays. Help us raise awareness!
