Hey All! Is Anyone Here On Tremfya (guselkumab)? What Was Your Experience With It, And Did It Improve Over Time?

I have been on 8-9 biological agents and had to switch to severe reactions or side effects% I started Tremfya in the Fall of 2022. I was on TALTZ for years and tried Humira & Skyrizi when I got fed up with nausea & diarrhea, but I WENT BACK to TALTZ when I had reactions to the new ones. My issue now is I am 62. I just got diagnosed with Type II diabetes and their concern is that my pancreas may have atrophied from the length of time I’ve been on the various agents. It didn’t dawn on me until yesterday that my very rapid weight loss, no appetite, headaches, and vision changes weren’t an issue until the last few months. Has anyone experienced any of these changes from Tremfya or the other agents. I know this was long winded, but I didn’t want to leave anything out. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've been on Humira for almost 10 years. I just switched to Tremfya. I literally just had my first injection 3 weeks ago at my MDs office. I switched because MD recommended because Tremfya works well for PsA and Psoriasis. I feel fine, no issues. I go back next week for 2nd injection. MDs office will give me injection until insurance covers.

I started in October of this year. The only thing I have noticed is some fatigue the first week and some not so fun muscle fatigue the first day of the shot. I have only had 2 shots so cannot tell you if that improves.
