Feeling Fatigued After COVID-19? Understand Your Immunity with a Home Antibody Test

Are you still feeling tired long after recovering from COVID-19?

Many people in the UK have reported lingering fatigue, low energy, or brain fog—sometimes weeks or months after a mild COVID-19 infection. This experience, often referred to as long COVID, can make day-to-day life challenging. But how do you know if your immune system has responded to the virus or the vaccine?

What happens inside your body after COVID-19?

After exposure to COVID-19, either through infection or vaccination, your body produces protective proteins called antibodies. The spike antibody is a particular type that targets the virus’s spike protein—crucial for immunity. Low antibody levels may be linked to recurring symptoms or worry about reinfection.

Can you check your COVID immunity at home?

Yes! The COVID-19 Spike Antibody Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic allows you to find out your antibody status with a simple finger-prick test. You can collect a small blood sample yourself and send it off in the post, receiving results within as little as one day.

What else can you do for post-COVID symptoms?

• Rest and pace your activities. Avoid overexertion—even as you start to feel better.
• Eat nutritious meals and stay hydrated.
• If symptoms persist, discuss them with your GP or visit the NHS page on long COVID.

When should you consider a COVID-19 antibody test?

• After COVID-19 infection or vaccination to check your immune response.
• If you are at higher risk (due to age or health conditions) and want peace of mind.
• Before travel or meeting vulnerable loved ones.
