Vasculitis often occurs with auto-immune diseases. Good that you having investigations immediately. There's some information here:

vasculitis.org.uk/about-vas...

but quite a few people with Rheumatoid Disease have a tendency towards this, but not always with serious effects, so I hope that you find it's not too bad!
