Summary: 

I am posting this for my sister.  She said that her fingers feel really
stiff (difficult/impossible to straighten) in the morning but feels OK 
after a while.  As far as she knows, she haven't jammed or otherwise 
harm her fingers before.  (Does anybody know people with the same problem?)

Is this curable?  Is there something she should do (like wearing mittens to 
bed) to alleviate the symptom?  Should she avoid work like typing or knitting?

Please reply thru e-mail.  Thanks in advance.
