MELODY STUDY - Patients Needed

[John_Mills]

MELODY study

The study aims to recruit people who have received solid organ transplants, people with rare autoimmune diseases receiving immunosuppression and people who have had a diagnosis of blood cancer.

#MELODYStudy Mass evaluation of lateral flow immunoassays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses in immunosuppressed people

John I missed this post at the time, but nevertheless received a letter last month (February) from Imperial College saying,

"We have chosen your name at random from a list of people who may either have a rare autoimmune disease or type of blood cancer which is usually treated with immunosuppressive treatment held by the National Disease Registration Service".

I volunteered of course, and have received the kit and done the test.

(12th March).

I'm pleased to say that my test showed Positive results for the longer lasting IgG antibodies.

I was also pleased to be able to contribute to the questionnaire about life and covid fears, plus effects on my mental health.

I have started a new thread on this subject to see how our friends on here are doing.
