Other Comments:
The review article is well written and highly informative for the patients as the title suggests. It will benefit the patients tremendously who look for clear and basic information on the disease in simple language. Though couple of illustrations showing the Raynaud phenomenon would have added to the strength of the manuscript. Nonetheless it is great attempt on part of authors to add to the knowledge base of the patients and it should be applauded.

The artcle is well written and organized. However, the information contained in the article is well known. No new infromation has been added. Relevant articles should have been cited in the text, and references included at the end of the text. This has not been done. On the whole, the layman rather medical research professional is reader group for this article.
