Hmm, this article makes me think some people's RSI problems may be caused by Raynaud's Disease.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/raynauds-dise...

It's more a description of symptoms than a description of cause, but being able to put a name on it makes it easier to ask about and Google. Basically, anything that can help treat this might be able to help with related RSI.




Both my wife and youngest daughter have Raynaud's. It's really obvious due to the external signs - though, as you say, I'd never have known what it was and that it was a thing before my wife told me about it.


Worth pointing out that 90% of cases of Raynaud’s occur in women. My wife has it and wears fingerless gloves at her computer in the winter.
