My mom has had Reynaud s syndrome for about 12 yrs-15 yrs. She has had top-notch help, so doing fine there. My question is in the process of this disease, is blacking-out common ? She hasn t blacked-out for a few years, but she also has a background of grandmal siezures many year ago and then the smaller-out for a minute type. (Sorry name is escaping me )

Dear Friend,
Thanks for sharing your question.
Raynaud's phenomenon and seizures can be due to multiple causes, which includes Lupus, vasculitis, lymphoma, myeloproliferative disorders. However long history of 12 yrs and single episode of seizure doesnt go with these diseases. It seems to be co incident or primary raynaud's. Which kind of raynaud's phenomenon it was? biphasic or triphasic, primary or secondary? Any other significant history? Plz provide some more details.
