For Plaque Psoriasis "I have been on Tremfya for about a year and a half. I developed psoriasis plaques at the age of 5 and have been on every cream, tar compound, and under the lights. I have the kind that worsens with sun exposure and was slightly better in the winter months. So, just when the shorts and t-shirts came out, so did the psoriasis! So difficult with the teasing growing up and the pain of cracking and bleeding. I was considered moderate to severe with the plaques I had. After 55 years of dealing with this, I relented and tried Tremfya. It has been amazing, I am totally clear. I have been a bit more prone to colds and coughs, including bronchitis. I also contracted COVID, which was getting more serious, but Paxlovid really worked for me then. I have felt the immune suppression side effect, but still worth the freedom from plaques and hopefully psoriatic arthritis. I am grateful for Tremfya and have had no other side effects."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "The first injection seemed to work wonders. I was covered with plaque, and in about 3-5 days, I was 80% clear already. I had been doing very well until this injection #6. I actually broke out quite a bit, especially on my scalp. I had a variety of other side effects also. It’s been 2 weeks, and I’m still having a cough and other problems. Hopefully, the next injection will not be like this one."

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."
