Raynaud's affects abut 90% of people with Lupus. You need to buy Hot Hands - you can find them online. I have Systemic Lupus, ITP, Raynaud's, MD, Sjogren's and more than likely, Scleroderma. When I was first diagnosed I didn't have a lot of the Lupus symptoms and didn't believe it - but I did have, and always have had, positive ANA tests. I also have the Lupus anticoagulant factor, thus, DVT's two years ago and on lifetime Coumadin. I have tachycardia often. I'm not sure what causes it, but, unfortunately, when the doctor puts the stethoscope on my chest, it doesn't happen. It happens periodically. Unfortunately, when first diagnosed, you don't have a lot of symptoms, but as time goes on, you will realize that you really are sick. The biggest problem is people don't believe you because "You don't look sick!"

Is positive ana homogenous common with lupus?
