I really wish I had better answers. My antibodies were >2500 also. My Rheumatologist said that was high also. I don't know if your doctor is right or mine, as mine told me not to get boosted. I tend to get everything but COVID at this point. Unfortunately anything I get is overwhelming. Have you had COVID more than once?

I am learning to be the glass half full type of person. Looking at any good thing, health wise or other as great. It is not easy on some days. I have found things I can and enjoy doing in my new normal. That has helped a lot. I am working on a family history and making memory books for my Grandson for each year. Catching up on years of not watching TV. I used to be a reader but sometimes I struggle with that. My brain fog is not fun. But I am alive and a survivor.

I hope you can find something you can do and enjoy in your current normal.
I wish you better health, good luck with living in your new normal, and that we will have a better new normal at some point.

It wasn’t my primary care doctor who advised the booster (who I am going 2 talk to about this asap) this was an Internal Medicine Doctor through the Long Covid Recovery Care who just a week ago diagnosed me with POTS, and feels it was most likely brought on by COVID. Yes I had it twice, first time in February of 2021, then again in August of 2022.
For two years of going to several doctors and numerous test, doctors started thinking it was menopausal (I’m 53) with my symptoms. Which are elevated heart rate, heart arrhythmias (PVC, PAC, SVT) muscle/joint aches, lightheadedness, brain fog, digestive issues, and feeling off balance. But this Internal Medicine Doctor performed the table tilt test and diagnosed the POTS.
So I don’t know I definitely want to see what my PCP says before I get a booster.
That’s great that you are finding some things that you can enjoy, hopefully I will too, but it’s really really hard most days.
