Thrombocytopenia and low IgA. What can this mean.?


I have been Dx'ed with Thrombocytopenia (low platelet, last count 117). Looking at my last blood lab results, I noticed that my IGA count was low (52, normal is 85 - 400).
This all started because I went to the Dr for horrible fatigue (no motivation to do ANYTHING) and joint pain and stiffness, especially in the mornings and after sitting for a long period of time (like while watching a movie, playing board games ect).
It seems like since the low platelet count showed up, that is all that they have concentrated on and have totally ignored my inital complaints. The hemotologist said that the low platelets would not cause the other symptoms.
All my other blood work has came back normal. (RA, thyroid, diabetis*, liver function, sed rate)
Soooo, my question is, would this IGA point to anything else that could be causing my symptoms?

Thanks

its a secretory immunoglobulin ,it points to low activity of B-Lymphocyes ,its not so significant now ,but its an early flag to get a bone marrow tap to see level of activity?
