Default Antibodies and confusion

Hello,

we have an 11 year old son. In 2008 he was tested for several things. He was diagnosed with hoshimotos thyroiditis. He has has a consistent high t4, tested positive for anti-tpo (level <1000), thyroglobulin antibodies (<1193), + ana, ana titer 1:160, + for immunoglobin a, positive for ach binding and modulating, positive for gad antibodies. He has no clinical signs or symptoms of myasthenia gravis, he sees a neurologist regularly as well as an endocronologist and will see a pediatric rhuematologist next week. Ophthamologist said he does not see signs of mg. I have doctors that wonder why there are so many antibodies and what they can and will do and doctors who say they are just there and don't mean anything
