Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis And Muscle Loss

I am terribly sick after taking a sulfa drug mediction for diabetes. My rheumatoid arthritis is killing me and 10 milligram of prednisone is not doing the trick. My therapy for muscle loss has not kicked in yet. My mind is very mixed and confused and i am still tired and very nervous. My hands and it s strength ia not better. I only had two days of a miracle use of my hands and that was it. What has this caused all these side effects and will I ever get better and how do I get better. Is there a doctor that knows what I have and can they help me?
