Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
These could be due to the side effect of these disease modifying antirheumatic drug(DMARD) which your wife took for long time.
I advice you to consult your rheumatologist about this. He or she could switch you to another DMARD or biological agent.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
