Tremfya (guselkumab) "So happy with Tremfya. Cleared up my skin beautifully except for the palms of my hands. Still dealing with plaque and multiple skin splits. Otherwise it's the best out there. I've not experienced any side effects. Easy to inject."

Tremfya (guselkumab) "I've had moderate to severe psoriasis in my 20s. It started in my mid-30s and cleared me up in the first 2 months. It completely cleared it. I noticed no side effects. After about 8 months of routine use, in the last 2 shots, I waited 3 months between shots. I noticed spots after the first skipped shot and a little more after the second skipped shot. That's 2 shots in the last six months. I think I will try to stick with every three months even though there are spots and slight itching. If it gets worse, I may have to do every other again, and hopefully, it didn't alter the effect. If it stays clear, I'll try to push out for longer, but as of now, it doesn't seem to be the case."

Tremfya (guselkumab) "I’m 42 years old and I’ve had plaque psoriasis since I was a teenager. Not only on my elbows and other common places, but literally all over my body. When I went to a new dermatologist about 6 years ago, I had over 90% coverage on my body. I was miserable and embarrassed to be seen by anyone. My quality of life was suffering a lot due to plaque psoriasis. I was prescribed Otezla and took 2 pills a day. It helped a lot but didn’t clear my skin completely. I took it for 2 years before telling my doctor I wanted to try something else to see if I could get my skin even clearer. 4 years ago, I started Tremfya injections. Within 2 weeks of the first injection, I could see significant improvement in my skin. About a month after the first shot, I had 0% coverage. All signs of psoriasis were completely gone everywhere on my body and have been ever since. For me, Tremfya is a miracle drug. It truly has given me my life and confidence back. I haven’t had any noticeable side effects either."

Tremfya (guselkumab) "I was covered head to toe with three 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. One 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 eight weeks is almost too long of a wait for me in between doses. By week six, 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 first biologic, and I am impressed with it."

"This has been the only treatment so far that has cleared up my psoriasis completely. I was covered over 85% of my body and severely so. I don't experience any side effects. I have been taking it now for 2 years and it still works great!"

Tremfya (guselkumab) "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 any more."

Tremfya (guselkumab) "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."
