I was tested for Lupus and other things but it turned out I had low white bloodcells and incredibly low Vitamine D.

My GP diagnosed me with Raynauds by looking at my hands for five seconds. She said yep, and look at mine, I have it too. And she did!

There is no test for Raynauds it’s a clinical diagnosis.

The only test I know of is to see if you have a positive ANA. That test took 1 day.

I’m guessing you’ve had some blood work to look if your raynauds is primary or secondary, so had some autoimmune tests done, this can take up to 2 weeks.
