IgA immune deficiency and low level of IgM, please help

I've had cognitive problems, episodes of fever, sickness for 2 years and my infectologist just found out that I have decreased level of IgA antibodies (0.04g/L) and also decreased level of IgM antibodies (0.6g/L). These are numbers for entire IgA and IgM.

They're suspecting that I have seronegative Lyme disease. But until now no antibiotics helped me in any way. Could this be because there is no antibodies (IgG, IgM)??

He said I have to visit immunologist because he can't explain this but I'm very impatient and would like to know what could this mean??

What are your levels of IGG? IF your IGG is normal then yes that is low for IGA and could indicate IGA Deficiency which is not treatable unless you take a prophylactic antibiotic
