How would we be able to determine the presence of spike protein in the blood? Which test would best determine this? D-dimer? Looks like dark field blood examination is a good predictor too.
From what I've searched online and found there appears to be a specific Antibody test they do to assess for an immune response. I would assume if an immune response is showing this means there is spike protein circulating in the blood. I've got no idea if this test detects the actual levels or its just a positive or negative result.
I do the D-Dimer test after watching a number of interviews with Dr's talking about the D-Dimer being very, very important to check micro-clotting issues that may be missed in other tests.

I've checked were I get my bloodwork and there is this Covid Anti-Body test described below available. Who knows whether this test will detect antibodies generated due to the jab or only through natural infection. I'm just a layman and wouldn't even attempt to give an accurate answer. One thing I do know is that I have my baseline bloodwork results from prior to getting jabbed and I am able to compare these baseline results to my future tests and keep an eye out for anything deviating out of range.
This test checks for antibodies to COVID-19. If you’ve been exposed to COVID-19, your body produces antibodies as part of the immune response to the virus. This test cannot tell you if you have an active infection.
If you suspect you have COVID-19, follow up with your healthcare provider about getting a PCR Swab test. There are multiple free outlets for this service. Google Covid 19 testing or speak to your GP.
Having antibodies usually gives immunity from further infection. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have these antibodies are protected against future COVID-19 infection
Based on the most current research, antibodies develop around 5 weeks after infection from COVID-19. However, this varies by individual, and some people may take a longer time to develop antibodies
Having an antibody test too soon after being infected may cause a false-negative result. Also, some People who are infected with COVID-19 may not develop detectable levels of antibodies, such as those with weakened immune systems due to a medical condition or certain medications.
This test may also detect IgG antibodies from previous exposure to Coronaviruses other than COVID-19, which can cause a false-positive result.

Woke up this morning feeling normal after my jab yesterday afternoon. Deltoid is a little tender highly likely due to my several topical CDS + DSMO applications as the skin has a blister forming on it.
1. Drank 1L + 20ml CDS 1 hr prior to walking in and getting the jab
2.. Applied Topical Solution within 5 mins of leaving the vax centre
3. Drank another 1L + 20ml CDS in 1 hr
4. Was unable to finish my third bottle of 1L + 20ml CDS bottle, due to falling asleep. (nothing to worry about....I had just come off working nightshift the night before and didn't get any sleep that day so I was tired)
Early days, but Fingers crossed.....
