IGM Cardiolipin Positive, low vitamin D and fluctuating calcium levels (low normal PTH)

Hi folks, I have just been found to be positive for IGM Cardiolipin, but not for the other cardiolipin antibody, and I'm due to be re-tested in few weeks' time. I have also been identified as being vitamin D deficient. My last blood test showed by calcium levels to be within range, so I am now due to start on cholecalciferol (D3). My question is whether starting vitamin D prior to being re-tested for the antibodies will skew the results. Am I okay to start straight away or should I hang fire just yet? I would really welcome your thoughts - thanks.

Thanks APsnotFab. I have just started taking it as I am absolutely desperate, but I was wondering if for the sake of a few weeks, I might potentially do myself more harm by taking something which might potentially mask another condition (if I have one). I am so relieved that after years of fighting to get even one GP to take me seriously, I have finally found one who was willing to refer me on to help identify the problem, and now I can finllay start to get the treatment I need. Phew!
