Can I be terminated for side effects of Prednisone for R.A

I have been employed for a little over a year at a company that is 'number oriented' If you do not make your numbers each month you can be written up and fired. I struggled the first few months but the numbers increased for 4 months until I was prescribed prednisone which made me confused, forgetful and aggresive. I am now on 2 final written warnings for two metrics, have been told neumerous times to 'update resume' and have had my personal manager tell me "you will never be a superstar, you are not a problem solver" I have a dr note stating the drop in my performance the past 4 months is due to side effects of prednisone for RA I am returning to work soon after FMLA leave of 10 days. Can I be terminated for performance that was out of my contorl due to a drug I am taking for a illness that has these side effects? I have been at the top of the required stats for the company for attendance, sales, and quality but for the one metric my numbers have been lower and lower. I have had my physician decrease the dosagre of prednisone I belever this will help but have been told daily I will be fired at the end of the month and one day was being pushed to quit. Do I have a case if I am terminated as I do have a dr note and have followed the rules? My manager has been 'off' treating me different offered to 'update my resume for me' and others with numbers lower than mine are not being threatened fired one is even being promoted sideways?
