Chronic EBV?

Hey Everyone! 

Over the last couple of months, I have been having a multitude of strange symptoms. I have gone through an immense amount of testing with very little answers. I've also done multiple and thorough neuro exams and have no weakness or atrophy. I do not have lyme disease and have tested extensively for it. I also do not have a vitamin deficiency. I have had a brain and full spine scan which were both negative. I have done vast other testing and have been cleared by infectious diseases, cardiology, endocrinology, auto-immune (numerous exams), gastro (endoscopy to check for celiac), etc... The only blood work that came back really abnormal is my EBV. Here are the values of the test: 

EBV VIRAL CAPSID AG (VCA) AB (IGM) 81.00 H U/mL NL2

EBV VIRAL CAPSID AG (VCA) AB (IGG) 316.00 H U/mL NL2

EBV NUCLEAR AG (EBNA) AB (IGG) 322.00 H U/mL NL2

EBV EARLY ANTIGEN D AB (IGG) <9.00 N U/mL NL2

Quickly going over it, my symptoms are as follows: unprovoked muscle soreness, muscle twitching, feelings of off-balance/coordination (hands and legs), random sores in my mouth, heavy anxiety, joint/body stiffness, brain fog, vision floaters, occasional pins/needles, and heartburn. This all seemed to start one day with a one-off instance of blurry eyesight that cleared up quickly. I was sick with a mild cold at the time then the rest of the above symptoms started to appear and have been going on for 8 months. 

I'm just so curious as to whether or not this could be the cause and if so, does anyone know of an effective treatment? 

Any insight on this would be really helpful. 

Thanks!
