would like to hear from anyone responding to Orencia

My RA is out of control.  I'm going into my seventh year of this disease.  I was not diagnoised until I met with my fifth Rheumatologist, 4 1/2 years into the disease.   I have just finished 9 months of Humira & 18 months of Prednisone.  Had to discontinue using Prednisone because of the nasty side effects - Diabetes.  I did not respond to Plaquenil or Enbrel in 2006.  Have had to use a walker for over a year now to get myself in and around the office in the mornings.  Since going off the Prednisone 2 months ago, I'm in one big flare and am experiencing the worst pain ever 24/7, in all of my joints.   I thought the Humira was finally helping me after the 10th injection, but now I think my disease is just too agressive for the biologic to work.  My depression is at an all time high.  I plan to ask my Rheumatolgist this week to prescribe Orencia.  Has anyone tired this fairly new drug?   I won't miss the severe injection site reactions that I had to all 9 of the Enbrel shots and to 16 out of 18 Humira shots.   I feel like I'm going backwards instead of forwards.  

Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel -
