I have had severe psoriasis for over 40 years. I have tried everything from topicals, pills, injections, sun/uv and nothing helped. I debated for years before trying a biologic but finally wanted to see if I could improve my quality of life. I started Tremfya in march of 2021, exactly 8 weeks before my first scheduled vacation. To my surprise, I was able to go swimming for the first time in 40 years without embarassment! I have been completely clear for almost 2 years now with an occaisonal reminder spot usually something almost unnoticable which usually pops up generally a week or two before the next injection. It has always cleared quickly following my next injection. I have never been happier! I recently switched insurance providers (Jan 23) and was afraid I may lose coverage, but my doctor was able to get it approved! I could not live like I do today without it! Best decision I ever made!Read More Read Less

I have used Tremfya for four years. It worked fine and I was paying five dollars per shot every two months with my Blue Cross Blue Shield plan. I am now in Medicare and have a very good prescription plan but they want over $3000 per shot every two months. I believe it is a scam to get you hooked on their shot and then charge a ridiculous price

Switched from Siliq to Tremfya due to insurance issues... not by choice. Tremfya by far worst performing injection. Psoriasis spots reappeared on my legs- derm prescribed a topical. Hadn't used topicals in years. The worst part: upper respiratory infections galore. Four in 2 months with most recent this week resulting in ear infection requiring antibiotics. Head and body aches common with Tremfya as well. Not a good medicine for me at all.

2 weeks into my first injection; seeing some very slight improvement. Some plaques have stopped “re-plaquing” , others have not changed. I seem to be itching more than usual though. Scalp plaques are starting to lift which is difficult to deal with. Side effects are very minimal, minor nausea and slight joint pain. Looking forward to more improvements with the 2nd injection.

Substantial mental side effects including paranoia and anxiety. Not a listed side effect, but effects stopped once loading dose cleared my system. Chose not to go for second dose.

I was on Stelara for over 7 years and my Dr though Tremfya would help with the area's in my hair line that have not gone away. One shot and I was in agony! I developed migraine headache the next day that lasted for over 3 weeks. So this drug is not for me! Back on Stelara next visit.

I experienced severe thigh muscle pain during the short 2 months I was on this biologic that stopped as soon as I changed to a different med. I have been on Enbrel, Humira, cosentyx, tremfya then taltz. The muscle pain was intolerable and it hurt to walk.
