Does anyone else with Raynaud's have asthma?

I've had asthma for many years. It started as a baby, went before I started school and then returned during my 20's. However I had eczema as a child in primary school and hayfever as a teenager through into adult life. I was diagnosed with limited cutaneous systemic scleroderma with Raynaud's last April, having had symptoms of Raynaud's for for many years. I also have auto-immune hypothyroidism, which was diagnosed nearly three years ago.

Hey, my question is the opposite of yours. Is it possible my wife who already has asthma has scleroderma or worse Raynaud's disease?

I have! I was diagnosed aged 45 - I'm now 54. I also have a lung condition called bronchiectasis. Both these conditions are pretty well controlled with three inhalers, anti-histamines and a nasal spray. I also have Sjogren's syndrome and arthritis, so I suppose I'm a bit of a croc!
