For Psoriasis "I feel like just so awful! Very sick with pain, and I think I have inverse psoriasis. Very painful and very itchy. I didn't have any of these issues till I started Tremfya. I have been on the medication for 7 months and went to the Dr, and they said keep taking it, and if my condition doesn't get better, go to your primary. What???? They are the specialists. Don't know what to do, please help."

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."

For Plaque Psoriasis "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."

For Plaque Psoriasis "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."
