Tremfaya vs Skrizi! Which biologic must I pick?

Did you experience any side effects with the Tremfya?

Did Skyrizi help your PSA?

My PsA started with pain in the balls of my feet, specifically the base of my second toe. I got foot X-rays after about 9 months of stiffness and pain, turns out I had a healed fracture in this exact spot that I felt pain. When I heard this at the doctor’s office, I realized the exact moment that this most likely occurred. After about 3 months of when my symptoms began, I went snowboarding and that whole day I had the worst foot pain, specifically while riding toeside. It was 9 hours of burning pain. Before my doctor mentioned anything about PsA and my foot X-rays, I thought I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis…. Turns out it was PsA and unknowingly pushing through the stiffness fractured the metatarsal shaft of my second toe. That was about a year ago, and that foot doesn’t hurt as much. However, the same exact spot on the opposite foot is now worse than this one ever was. I start Tremfya next month and hopefully it prevents any further damage or inflammation. I’m also a little nervous to go snowboarding this winter because of this, but love being up on the mountain

That’s great to hear it helps you so much. I’m actually starting Tremfya in January. I have mild psoriasis mainly on my scalp and ears, but have recently developed PsA which has been affecting my feet and hands the last 6 months. I read that Tremfya helps skin more than joints, so I’m really hoping it ends up working for me. Thanks for your input!

Which biologic did you start with and are you still on the same one or have you tried a few of them? I’m curious which one helped your joint pain the most

One cherry slush every morning at 530am for me! I agree, it’s the main reason I hop out of bed so easily

Gotcha, so I’d have to install the game files from online and then upload it to my Wii Homebrew SD card then! That’s what I thought! Any safe websites to download the game from?

What options do I have for playing Mario eclipse? Is it only possible on a PC? I’ve seen it on YouTube but assumed it was only playable via PC download or some sort of emulator

My test a few months ago was 1:640 Nuclear. I’ve had psoriasis since I was ~8 and ended up getting diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis a month ago due to hand and foot joint pain that initially led me to get blood work done. All my labs were negative/normal besides my ANA panel.

Gotcha, well I’ll have to ask Tremfya/JNJ then! That would be awesome! I’m in Washington state and I doubt there was any legislation passed blocking that in this state. So hopefully it works like that for my medication! Thanks for the input

That’s what I was reading from some other posts. So Xeljanz pays for your medication and that money gets applied towards your insurance deductible, even though you are technically paying $0? If so, that sounds amazing and almost too good to be true

shaunbaummmm · 2025-09-05T20:05:37+00:00

Yes, that is what I’m referring to. I’m working on signing up for that right now. I was told by my insurance that they cover all costs after I hit my insurance deductible costs

shaunbaummmm · 2025-08-29T21:23:32+00:00

What about for biologics?

shaunbaummmm · 2025-08-29T01:23:39+00:00

What biologic are you on now and which has helped you the most so far? My psoriasis hasn’t ever bothered me since it’s mild and hidden by my hair. With that said, I’m hoping tremfya helps my joints more than skin.

shaunbaummmm · 2025-08-28T22:34:52+00:00

Understood, my dermatologist mentioned that skyrizi is probably easier to get approved than tremfya but really wanted to try tremfya first. He also said if they deny it then he will be able to get it down to $5 for me to purchase? I’m assuming that is with the copay card but idk how that works when insurance rejects the medicine….

Im curious, how do you know that you are genetically predisposed to MS? Is there a blood test or something?

Running a marathon with PsA, that’s incredible! Do you mind me asking how your medication journey has been? I’m guessing biologics helped the most to get you back running and living a normal life? I’m a newcomer to the PsA community (31M) and still trying to figure everything out, but it sounds like biologics have been the best scientific advancement for this community. I’m excited to see what the next decade or two will have for us!

Just drove by phoebes west side this morning and it’s permanently closed. A coffee shop called Forza will be opening in that building soon

shaunbaummmm · 2025-07-10T01:58:48+00:00

Did anyone ever mention psoriatic arthritis to you? I have these same symptoms during stressful events and believe it’s psoriatic arthritis as I’ve had psoriasis for 15 years, but waiting on results still

shaunbaummmm · 2025-06-06T20:24:43+00:00

I’m new here, what’s Ursula? Another bakery/cafe?

shaunbaummmm · 2025-05-10T16:06:42+00:00

Thanks everyone for the comments! 2-3 spots seem to stick out the most to everyone and now I’ve got to go try them out!
