Tbh, I think the answers are pretty general, but general is a good thing when it comes to health: While it might not apply exactly to your case, I can share the question/answers that I had with the doctor. I followed up and they didn't seem to think that ">250" was unusual, so maybe it is not. But, I am curious about what others in this group think about that result and whether anybody else tested similarly. I am going to try to get an appointment to talk to the doctor whose name is on the result and who authorized the test to see if there are any insights to help interpret the results. Has anybody else in this group been tested for antibodies and had a similar result? I am curious if maybe this means that I am still "fighting COVID" these five months later? But, I am curious how "normal" it is for somebody like me who simply had COVID five months ago. I did some googling and have found that a such a result might be normal for somebody who just received the vaccine four weeks ago. It seems that I have more than 300 times the amount of antibodies to qualify as a positive result!! Hence, I don't really know what to make of this.īut, the result is ">250.00U/mL", where the reference is "<0.80". So, I didn't do it through my personal physician where I can just call and talk about the results. I took the LabCorp antibody test as my local Walgreens, having signed up on their website. (I am aware that it is not recommended to use an antibody test to determine the need for the vaccine, but I also don't want to take it before others who _really_ could use it, if I already have sufficient antibodies.) I am particularly interested as I am now eligible for the vaccine in my state and I was wondering how much of a priority it would be for me. I also seem to have a lingering issue of certain confused tastes/smells, which is not that bad.Īnyway, I was curious about whether I still have antibodies after five months since I have heard that they tend to wane around now. It took about three months to feel like I am "recovered" and I still sometimes feel some mild difficulty taking a breath (not sure if it is anxiety when I remember what it felt like or actual difficulty from the COVID). I had fever for 12 days straight and pain in the chest, trouble breathing, and a resting heart rate in the 90s throughout the whole 12 days. It was officially a "mild" case, but it was really bad. No conspiracies- As with the rule on no discussion on Covid origins, this is not the place the theorize on government /institution conspiracies, whether related to covid, long-covid, or any other disease.
