Does Antivenom For Snake Bite Cause Allergy?

I had 10 vials of antivenom for snake bite in 2001, have had constant allergy, joint, etc issues since then. Lab results this week show low IgM levels (34). Can this be caused by the antivenom years ago since I now have constant issues...how can I get this level up? OK, sorry for wasting your time, I m not comfortable entering my credit card info at this time.

Its not due to antivenom dont worry , dont be panic.
Have your proper diet , do regular exercise and take proper sleep and rest. Your IgM levels will be raised definately.
