I am so glad you said that sharabi. yes I sometimes have pain in my arteries. I don;t know what it is but sometimes they feel like burning or just hurting. I don;t know how to explain the pain. I am beginning to think after reading so much that lupus and raynauld's seem to be in the same family along with arthritis.
