I am relatively new to Raynauds, and recently learn it is secondary. I am trying to learn about which of my other symptoms may be related to the Raynauds. I have lots of foot,
leg cramping.

@weismanna Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’ so glad you’re here and found this site.
You’ve asked about Raynaud’s so I’ve included what Mayo Clinic says.

What other symptoms do you have that make you suspicious about Raynauds. I’m sure our knowledgeable members can answer most of your questions.
You recently learned that Raynaud’s is secondary. What other autoimmune disease do you have?

I have secondary Raynauds associated with my hypothyroidism. I used to have attacks after completing long runs in cold weather, where the runs were 2 hours or more. My only symptoms were very white fingertips, either one or 2 joints on a few fingers on each hand. One time I was warming my hands in hot water, and I saw the blood flow resume to my finger tips. The blood looked like swirling ink in my fingers.
