replies: text: Reynaud's may be a manifestation of some orthopedic conditions (which IMO could explain it being on an orthopedic-conditions list), and IANAD, but Dorlands 27th edn. calls it "a ... vascular disorder", and it sounds to me like it may have some sort of underlying mechanism involving the nervous or humoral systems. I'd bet money that that template would be a bad mistake here. --Jerzy•t 07:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there really no strong scientific evidence of a hereditary link?  I have it, my mother has it, my grandfather has it, and my greatgrandmother had it.  I realise this is just a point example, but I'm just surprised there's no scientific evidence of a link...
This abstract of this study says that twin studies have identified a hereditary factor: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16609626 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.65.134 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 19 April 2008
:Article does suggest "This form of Raynaud's is thought to be hereditary, although it is uncertain if it is actually genetic", and there is a OMIM link in the infobox. But I'll work in the ref you kindly found. David Ruben  Talk  02:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

message: What's going on with the external links section of this page? We really don't need this many links, many of which are not good links. We should work them into the article as references, or do away with them, leaving only a few. I'm going to purge some of the less worthwhile ones. Chaldor (talk) 09:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links? 

message: Having looked up Raynaud's to find two pages (one called Raynaud's phenomenon, the other Raynaud's disease) I find it confusing and unnecessary to refer to the two overlapping articles. One article in which the difference between "phenomenon" and "disease" is made clear would be far better for most users. I notice that this has been discussed going back to 2004 - it's time to do something about it. Could someone with the necessary knowledge please make the merger? As for the title of the article (ref discussion over whether it should be merged under "Raynaud's phenomenon" or "Raynaud's disease") the logical answer is for these to both be redirects to just "Raynaud's". Meanwhile I hope no-one minds if I tag these pages... Best wishes to all editors. --Weydonian (talk) 20:10, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
