Men and women can have it although women are in the majority.

I've got it and am taking Methotrexate which has helped me. I also have severe Raynauds and take Liquid prozac for it but in small amounts (not like when taken for depression) & have just started on Sildenafil which is also helping. I have had Iloprost infusions but they didn't help very much - only lasted about 2 weeks.
