This is a cardiology consult, patient has chronic edema. He seems to be saying rainout, but I cannot confirm. Thanks for checking it out! 

"She has normal thyroid function and, despite her rainout, she has no other evidence of significant connective tissue disease on screening labs."

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.

Extremities show cyanosis and s/l "telijuctasias or talinjunctasias" consistent with Raynaud's phenomenon.  

Her skin exhibits _________________________ (same word as above) on her fingertips and face.

I know I have had this word before and figured it out, but it is stumping me this time.  THANKS SO MUCH!!!
