For Ulcerative Colitis "I have been using Tremfya for about 6 months now for ulcerative colitis. I noticed improvement after the second infusion. I started then weaning off prednisone after the 3rd infusion, and since the wean, I have noticed that I have more constipation and hemorrhoids. BUT I no longer have diarrhea, stomach pain, gut pain, bleeding, or urgency. I’ll take the constipation and hemorrhoids any day just so I don’t have to run to the bathroom and be in there for 30 minutes while I shop for groceries. What you aren’t told is that the benefit card can run out of funds before the second pen fill, and you may have to pay into your deductible with no help, and this costs me $3000 to fill. Unfortunately, Johnson and Johnson aren’t going to add more funds either, once they are used, I guess that’s it, you’re effed unless your insurance takes care of it. Their Tremfya guides are great, but their card for help at the pharmacy is absolutely horrid. That’s why I put an 8 instead of a 10."

Guselkumab for Psoriatic Arthritis "Have been using 100 mg Tremfya injection for over a year now, but usually after a week the joint pains return and muscle cramps begin. Not sure if it's related, but I also have a constant cough and regularly spit up mucus from my throat and chest."

Guselkumab for Psoriatic Arthritis "This is my second time on Tremfya. I took my first dose 3 days ago. My previous experience with Tremfya was amazing. I did not realize how great I felt until I went off of the medication. I haven't noticed many changes this time around, as it's not been very long, but I am excited to be back on Tremfya."

Guselkumab for Plaque Psoriasis "I have severe plaque psoriasis and have tried at least three biologicals, including Tremfya. Of the ones tried so far, Otezla worked the best, but the side effects were unbearable and made me look for another solution. In my experience, Tremfya did nothing for me, and my condition, in fact, worsened. I am now starting Consentyx and pray it will be the one medicine that will work."

Guselkumab for Psoriatic Arthritis "I have had 4 injections of Tremfya so far. It has cleared up the psoriasis, self-injections easy peasy. I have had headaches a couple of times a day that started after the 3rd injection. Side effects for me have been headaches off and on, feeling cold all the time, increased pain in my arches and back. It has made me put on shorts for the first time in 4 years (my legs were completely covered in plaques). It has boosted my confidence."

Guselkumab for Psoriasis "It helped me a lot, but still I can see it coming back after the 7th dose. My doctor at the beginning told me I need 7 doses, but later on she said I need to continue for the rest of my life, and as you know, it is not cheap."

For Psoriasis "After suffering for nearly 40+ years and trying so many creams, tablets, light treatment, you name it, I’ve tried it. I’ve now been on this injection for nearly 4 years. I was among the first people to try it, and it has been life-changing for me. I had a few problems with bloods and liver, but nothing drastic and obviously a very low immune system. I have my confidence back to wear whatever I like again and go swimming in a bikini, which I never had done before. I can wear short dresses and not worry about people staring, all because of one little injection every 8 weeks which doesn’t even hurt. I can only speak from personal view, but I would recommend anyone to try it. Best decision I ever made."

Guselkumab for Psoriasis "I have pustular psoriasis and Tremfya has been life-saving. I went through light therapy from November until April every day and was on another medication prior to starting Tremfya. I have not had one flare of any kind since being on it. No side effects. I have been on Tremfya now for 6 years. The only downside is now I take it every 5 weeks and that has been a cause of trouble with the insurance."

For Plaque Psoriasis "This has been the only treatment so far that has cleared up my psoriasis completely. I was covered over 85% of my body and severely so. I don't experience any side effects. I have been taking it now for 2 years and it still works great!"

Guselkumab for Plaque Psoriasis "I’ve been on another medicine and have given my own shots for years. The first shot of Tremfya hurt so bad, I aborted the shot. I waited the 30 minutes to warm up and had it laying flat. They don’t even provide an alcohol pad to clean the area. Will go back to my former medicine. Those shots are why some people are afraid of needles."

Guselkumab for Psoriasis "I've been using the injection regularly for 2 years. From the first day, I'm completely clear, I no longer have any redness or scabbing. It cleared me 100%. I only missed one dose, and afterwards, when I took it again, I started experiencing pain, but these pains are better for psoriasis."

Guselkumab for Psoriasis "Have had great success with this drug. Psoriasis has completely cleared. After stopping taking it for 1 year, it has returned. My concern is that I have kidney damage from UTI and not sure if I should start taking it again?"
