Lani, that is an interesting hypothesis. I live a HI where we get lots of sunshie and yet I still get joint stiffness in my hand and slight locking of the thumb. Maybe it would be worse if I did not get the sunshine. It is also worse at night when it is dark, but I had always presumed it was more due to inactivity of the hand.
