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."

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."

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 "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 Crohn's Disease "I’m taking Tremfya for atypical Crohn's. I originally started taking the Humira injections but had confirmed side effects such as severe muscle cramps, pustules on my face and scalp, tingling in my hands and feet, tinnitus has amplified and inflamed my sciatica. My gastroenterologist switched me to Tremfya, and three days after my induction dose, I’m experiencing the same symptoms. I did find the Tremfya injection easier and less painful than the Humira."

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."

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."

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."
