Raynaud's
I think the word you are looking for is "rheumatic", because Raynaud's can be associated with an underlying connective tissue disease/disorder.

Just FYI...(NOT offering this as a correction as nothing was incorrect; just offering it up for info purposes) 
BOS3, RULE 8.2.7 Eponyms
AHDI first advocated dropping the possessive form for eponyms in 1990. We adopted this standard because it promotes consistency and clarity. Likewise, The AMA Manual of Style and other industry resources have acknowledged this trend away from the possessive form. It is important to note, however, that use of the possessive form is acceptable in environments where client or facility preference prevails. i.e., She was diagnosed with Raynaud phenomenon.
*When the noun following the eponym is omitted, the possessive form is preferred i.e., She was diagnosed with Raynaud's.
