What is the link between LEG CRAMPS and Pulmonary hypertension?

I google Leg Cramps and found Pulmonary hypertension. That term, Pulmonary hypertension is also listed on the page for Scleroderma which I am being tested for. I am curious if there is an indication that my leg cramps may be part of a bigger circle.

Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension due to CREST Scleroderma?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has or knows someone that has Pulmonary Hypertension due to CREST Scleroderma? My Mom has just been diagnosed with it, and she is currently on Revatio (20mg 3X's a day), and she said that she doesn't really feel any different, she has been on it for about 6 months. Is there any other medicines out there that other people have tried and have they worked for you? Please let me know by replying back to the message, and is there any forums or chatgroups that anyone might know about to talk with people that have this disease? Thanks everyone.

CREST/Scleroderma?

I have been diagnosed with Crest/Scleroderma. I am only being treated for the main symptom which is Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. My physician is a Pulmonary specialist and she tells me there isn't much they can do for Scleroderma so we treat the symptoms. She says Scleroderma won't kill me but Pulmonary Hypertension will and that is why I'm taking so many high pressure meds. Does this seem right? Is Scleroderma completely incurable? I have diffuse and limited, but most of the damage is internal. I am in phase IV. I seem to have all 5 of the CREST disorders but question the Scleroderma. I have made an appointment with a Rheumotologist but can't be seen before August 1. According to the research I've done, my body is manufacturing too much collegan. Should I avoid collegan additives in my vitamins?

What is the medical term for arthritis causing pain in the head, similar to hypertension symptoms?

I usually have pain in my nape up to the head but my blood pressure is just above normal. The doctor ruled out hypertension. Arthritis is suspected somewhere in the spine. Is this possible? Any cure suggestions?
