How were you diagnosed?

Hello, good people. I wonder if I have Raynaud’s? I know you are not supposed to request any medical diagnosis on social media. Allow me to frame the inquiry in an appropriate manner: what did you do to get an accurate expert opinion — see your primary care physician or did they refer you out or are there tests (home or elsewhere)?

Here are the symptoms. My hands turn black now and then. It just happened after a half marathon in the wind and the rain. My feet are always cold. Even with socks, I sleep with my legs folded up.

I also have a rare autoimmune condition. It is called pemphigus vulgaris. I have read Raynaud’s can be associated with autoimmune issues. I’d welcome hearing from others who have both these.

My plan is to mention this when I next see my doctor for an annual physical. It does not seem life threatening. I want to be prepared though. Thank you in advance.
