Guselkumab "I’ve been using Tremfya for nearly a year and have had wonderful results. Not only has nearly all of my psoriasis disappeared, but I also feel better in general. Interestingly, my hand pain has greatly decreased even though I haven’t been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. (I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis by an orthopedic doctor, however.) I do now have a reduced white blood cell count, which returns to normal a month or so after the injection. I never had a low white blood cell count before, except during unrelated radiation treatments. I get a couple of extra colds per year, but it’s worth it for how much better I feel!"

Guselkumab "I’m about to start my first injection April 20. They are taking me off Otezla because that didn’t work at all. I got psoriasis all over my face and my hands. Now it’s going on my back. I think an allergy makes me get psoriasis. I will keep y’all updated. I really hope Tremfya works for me. I have had this for 7 years. Keep y’all updated."

Guselkumab "So happy with Tremfya. Cleared up my skin beautifully except for the palms of my hands. Still dealing with plaque and multiple skin splits. Otherwise, it's the best out there. I've not experienced any side effects. Easy to inject."

Guselkumab "I've had moderate to severe psoriasis in my 20s. It started in my mid-30s and cleared me up in the first 2 months. It completely cleared it. I noticed no side effects. After about 8 months of routine use, in the last 2 shots, I waited 3 months between shots. I noticed spots after the first skipped shot and a little more after the second skipped shot. That's 2 shots in the last six months. I think I will try to stick with every three months even though there are spots and slight itching. If it gets worse, I may have to do every other again, and hopefully, it didn't alter the effect. If it stays clear, I'll try to push out for longer, but as of now, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Guselkumab "I was covered head to toe with 3 different types of psoriasis. My doctors and I had tried all topicals on the market, UVB light therapy, and methotrexate to no avail. None of these were a long-term solution for myself. They would bring my psoriasis flush to my skin, but I would still be itchy and sore from all the lesions, and the results would only last a few days before it all flared back up. My skin was getting very thin from the topical steroids. With hesitation, I agreed to try biologics. 1 week after my initial loading dose of Tremfya, I noticed a decrease in the severity of my lesions. By the time I was ready for my second loading dose, my psoriasis had vastly cleared; all I really had left by this time was scalp and nail psoriasis. I do find that 8 weeks is almost too long of a wait for me in between doses. By week 6, I start getting spots again, but they are more like tiny little dots that clear up within a week of my next dose. Tremfya is my 1st biologic, and I am impressed with it."

Guselkumab "I was previously on Tremfya, and at the 10th injection, my dermatologist did a biopsy for a small rash spot that would not go away, and it turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer). Upon further self-research and joining a psoriasis support group, other dermatologist doctors in the group confirmed that biologics are well known to cause skin cancer. I also had several UTIs and became allergic to nine different meds that prior to Tremfya I had taken without problems. After Tremfya, I now carry an EpiPen as a result, in which I ended up in the ER for severe allergic reactions."

Guselkumab "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."

"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 "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 "It has been brilliant. After almost 50 years with severe psoriasis, I have two small spots, both about the size of a fingernail. And, best of all, I don't have that incessant itching anymore."
