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.
