Hi there. New here on this network with MCTD and secondary Raynaud’s. Not certain what you are asking? Fingers v sore typing 👎.

Do u mean GP tried to refer you with secondary rays and referral got pushed back or just that GP wants to see you again? If you got ANA and told secondary Raynaud’s u should see rheumatologist. I’m having same prob with gastroenterology pushed back but you need to keep pester to get referral get and keep copies of all bloodwork, ask further bloodwork with ENA antibodies - more specific is better. Also get Inflammation levels checked out. Rheum autoimmune diseases all can cause Raynaud’s and +ANA. Good luck stay strong - shortage of rheumatologists too many waiting so need to be pushy👍 🙂
