Is this a side effect?

I have recently (8 weeks) been put on Tremfya and am noticing a couple of unusual side effects that aren’t listed in the info I’ve read about biologics.

Has anyone else experienced excessive yawning? It doesn’t appear to be related to fatigue or anxiety. I simply can’t stop yawning!

The 2nd side effect is severe full body trembling upon waking up. This lasts less than 30 seconds and slowly diminishes.

I haven’t reached out to my dr. yet; I probably will, but just thought I’d ask the community first.

Anyone thoughts? Thank you!

  1. Hi . Have you ever taken your body temperature while waking or when you are having yawing fits? I am just curious because difficulties with body temperature regulation can cause excessive yawning and it might also explain your trembling. I have not heard of these side effects with Tremfya, but I hope you get some responses from others in the community. You might want to ask your doctor to test you for nutritional deficiencies. People with PsA are often low in Vitamin D, B vitamins and iron. Any of those might be contributing to your issues. I hope you get some answers and that Tremfya is effective for you. - Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
