That is unfortunate becuase Reynolds syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease, consisting of the combination of primary biliary cirrhosis and progressive systemic sclerosis. In some patients this syndrome has also been associated with Sjögren's syndrome and hemolytic anemia. Typical clinical features include jaundice; yellowing of skin pigment or eyes.
To be short, it is a rare liver condition. An autoimmune disease is where the immune system.. attacks itself on accident almost. harming itself for whatever reason it may think is harming your body. In this case, her liver. It depends on how bad she has Reynalds syndrome. She could just get sick everyonce in a while, or it could be potentially fatal.
Raynauds syndrome is a symptom of Reynalds.
I'm sorry to hear she has it.

It's probably Raynauds. I have it. It's an autoimmune disorder affecting the circulation. It's not really serious or deadly, but it can be painful/annoying, especially in the colder months.

Do you possibly mean Raynaud's disease?
I don't normally do this, but here is the wiki address
