I stay confused!


If I understand any of it (which is doubtful) the first test shows that I have not had covid (the disease itself)

The numbers on the second test show I have antibodies from the vaccine (I think), however the number can vary for different reasons so there is no current range to go by. But since the H usually means "high" then I'm hoping it means I have high antibodies but that's mostly wishful thinking on my part. Everything I've read said not to put much importance to the testing for antibodies after getting the vaccine right now and yet........... they have a test for them.

But yeah, confusing!

That makes more sense as you simplified it for me

Glad you got something out of it as I don't really have a clue what I'm talking about

As time goes on I imagine we'll get more info on the antibody testing from the vaccine.

My sister and I both have psoriasis, she came across a BBC article about the vaccine and it said something like 1 in 10 might not of had a response from the jabs!

I'm not advertising them but if your in UK you can get the Zoe symptom study app, log your data and jabs and they sometimes send out antibody check kits.

I had one to check for previous infection which came back negative.
The bloke on there says there are 2 types of antibody checks, natural and vaccine

If your on immuno drugs it might be worth investigating.

I know there is talk of boosters here now

If you have had covid, with no skin flare ups, then might it be possible you wouldn’t get a flare up with the jab? Do the derms or nurses have any info on that yet?

Hanna !!

Great to see you around again!

Good suggestion, thanks!

Negative in that I have no Covid antibodies, so no previous infection.

I think I might write a letter to my GP and see if I get a response or try and find some way of communicating with a derm at the hospital to ask my questions
