Does Arthritis Cause Sneddon Syndrome?

i was diagnosed with sneddon syndrome 13 years ago, and since then i have had progressive osteoarthritis. firstly in my thumbs, then toes, ankles, shoulders, and most recently both hips. I was wondering if the arthritis was related to the sneddon syndrome in some way. I am 49, and female.

Sir the literature does not support the claim that your arthritis could be due to sneddon syn. the arthritis could be degenerative in nature.
Thanks
