Positive Endo Visit - but need interpretation help

[Guest guest]

I have been to see a very sympathetic and helpful Endocrinologist in London. He

looked at results that my local Endo was quite dismissive of and told me he

could understand that I must have felt pretty rough. Excellent!

So my problem is this, my brilliant Endo is slightly less brilliant in his write

ups. And as it is a long weekend I cannot call him. Could anyone here help?

Issue 1 is that he has identified that I have Low Vit D, my result was 24, and

he wants to treat this. The only thing is that I had actually started taking a

vit D supplement not long before I went to see him (calcium with vit D because I

was having massive problems with my teeth). Should I call him back and mention

this? or just take the meds prescribes and see what happens?

Issue 2 - my Smooth Muscle Antibodies were a 'weak positive'. He says that all

considered he says this is of 'questioning significance'. I presume he is saying

this because my Liver Function tests came back okay. I really wish I hadn't

looked this up though, because I am more than a little worried. Can anyone here

tell me about Smooth Muscle Antibodies, and whether a weak positive really is no

cause for concern?

I do wonder if I have some liver issues as I cannot drink coffee any longer

(used to be fine) as it gives me such terrible shakes. Alcohol affects me pretty

badly too nowadays, though that could be age (I am 38).

Oh, and I should probably say that I have been both hypo and hyper (in that

order) but speicifically diagnosed with Graves within the last year. My current

TFT's are all in 'normal' range without meds, but I feel like absolute crap.

Sorry if that is all a bit garbled. Thanks again guys.
