Irish Raynaud's & Scleroderma Society

> welcome

The Irish Raynaud's and Scleroderma Society was founded to promote a greater understanding of Raynaud's Disease, a condition which affects the blood circulation of more than 350,000 Irish people but is still relatively unknown by the general public. Two per cent of people with Raynaud's will develop Scleroderma.

Our aim is to support and educate sufferers and their families. We also provide a full range of products that may be helpful to those suffering from Raynaud's or Scleroderma.

The Irish Raynaud's & Scleroderma Society, which is a registered charity, (no. 9845), receives no core government funding. We rely on fundraising activities, legacies, and the generosity of companies, charitable trusts and individuals. All contributions towards research and welfare are very much appreciated. Please let us know if you would like details of how to make a donation. If you need further information on any of our activities, please contact us by email at info@irishraynauds.com or by telephone at Dublin (01) 202 0184 / (01) 214 8950

The diagnosis of primary Raynaud's is fairly straightforward. If your doctor suspects that the Raynaud's is secondary to another associated condition, a number of tests will be done to ascertain which disease is underlying your Raynaud's symptoms. This might be Scleroderma or Lupus or Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
