Topics:I work and then I flare I'm at the end of my rope with no med help

I worked 30 hours this week and I just got up after sleeping for 18 hours straight. I am in tears in the mornings and evenings. My fingers are like cigars and I am so tired. I feel let down when I see the rheumatologist. I'm on Plaquenil and fish oil capsules and the only other thing he seems to prescribe is Prednisone. What kind of med would be appropriate for me to look at since plaquenil isn't doing it? I'm so blue. Please advise if you can.
