Low Vit D, others OK: None of these tell if you have autoimmune disease (ad). You have low d, which increases risk of autoimmune disease, heart disease, cancer etc.- most adults need 5-8000 iu of d in fall ; winter for optimal levels- see http://bit.Ly/1gnxnk0 ; http://bit.Ly/1ekkvkv normal uric acid shows you don't have gout. Esr is often high in autoimmune disease but you are on already on meds for ad that lower esr.
