Suggest Treatment For Raynauds

My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with raynauds. She is going to see a Rheumatologist at the end of the month. I am terrified that this will be dx as secondary raynauds. Her ESR was normal, but no other tests were done yet. Her initial attack was in Dec and involved the 3 middle fingers of her right hand, then the same day once per week for 3 weeks in Jan which involved only her middle finger right hand. In June she injured her right knee, and the ER doc used adhesive to one laceration. In Sept she developed a rash itchy red over her body with some swelling in her hands and feet, cause unknown. Could the glue have caused this reaction? I her mother have a positive ANA, and her primary feels if my ANA is positive hers will be too-- could this be true? She doesn't feel it's necessary for her to have this test. My daughter told me the other day that her fingernails hurt. I'm so worried that she was a connective tissue disease, I can't eat or sleep.
