I have the sky-high anticentromere antibodies, and when my autoimmune disease flared up really bad for the first time, I very suddenly developed bilateral calcified heel and elbow tendons. I feel it is related to the anticentromere antibdies, but have been told it does not constitute calcinosis. Frankly, I think the doc's wrong on that score.
