For Plaque Psoriasis "I've been on many bios over the last decade. They switched me to Tremfya about a year ago from Stelara, and I really wish they hadn't. Tremfya works somewhat for the first and second dose. After that, it goes to 8 weeks, and you suffer for at least half of those. I find it to barely keep psoriasis at bay for the first 3 weeks, then after that, you are inflamed and get new spots. Tremfya is absolutely the LEAST effective bio I have used."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I had a certain vaccine, and after the vaccine, I started experiencing a series of autoimmune issues. I struggled for almost 2 years with rashes that covered nearly 80% of my skin. Out of nowhere, I haven't had issues until age 39. I was amazed that within the 1st week, all itching, inflammation, and other hits to my system resulting from an autoimmune disorder have diminished. Completely! I had it pretty severe, but with Tremfya, I have a life again! My skin is intact, and I can sleep at night without itching and burning."
