I just turned 61 on February 14. I don't know anyone that have either one neither. Inever even heard of Scleroderma until I was diagnosed with it in 2016 and I didn't hear of PAH until then. Thats when I read that Scleroderma could cause PAH. And My Rheumatologist mentioned PAH also. How is the Meds working for you?

I also have PAH with scleroderma. I was first diagnosed in 2015 with scleroderma, ILD in 2018 and stated on 2L of oxygen. In 2019 PAH. Started on sildenophil and than switched to tadalophil. Oxygen saturation improved and I wasn't using oxygen as much. In August started Tyvaso DPI and have gone downhill. Now probably going to 6L oxygen. I have a pulmonary evaluation tomorrow. I am very depressed about this. Anyone else have experience with Tyvaso and is it helping?
