Hi all hope everyone safe and well

Quick question can your consultant give a immune system mot,to see how it working,I’m still in medical remission just a few minor flares, had from reduced pred, had many treatments, and as normal for us all Had to find something that suited me, mxt and pred did me gd,and touch wood kept pretty much well, the reason I ask is I’m a shielded patient like us all,and due to go bk to work at the end off the month just needed to make sure I’m in the best condition to prepare for it,in Dorset the Covid isn’t been as present due to less density buildings and living by the coast many old people how had to isolate so in are we have done better off which gives me confidence to return to some sort of normality thanks for reading

The immune system test is iGG, there's all sorts so you can look on google for some info. It's done via a blood test but is not a quick result, takes a couple of weeks to get results back. Speak to your consultant
