Based on the search results provided, the focus should be on multiple myeloma's impact on immunoglobulin levels. When myeloma cells crowd out healthy plasma cells, they can affect normal antibody production, including IgM.

The key symptoms that may indicate low immunoglobulin levels in myeloma include:
• Increased risk of infections
• Weakened immune system
• Anemia
• Increased bleeding tendency If you're concerned about your IgM levels, it's important to have your doctor perform specific blood tests to determine the underlying cause. They can conduct serum protein electrophoresis and other specialized tests to properly evaluate your condition and determine if your low IgM levels are related to your myeloma.
