Epstein Barr Nuclear AG AB IGG result of over 600

From the research I’ve done, here’s what I believe. Early antigen and viral capsid antigen IgM are present during an active infection. Viral capsid IgG and nuclear antigen stay in your body after infection so elevated levels indicate a past exposure. The only difference I can find between those two are that viral capsid IgG is present during infection, drops, and remains stable and present for life. Nuclear antigen antibodies only appear once the infection has resolved and remain for life. So it is normal to have those antibodies present after mono but I wonder if it is normal to have them be so high! My primary care doctor can’t seem to give me a straight answer or maybe doesn’t understand my question. She keeps telling me that I don’t have mono, which I understand. Does anyone know what kind of specialist I should ask to be referred to?

km, howdy, been reading your posts.
IGM-active infection
VCA IGG present for life and high in 200-600 range-normal. Immune response numbers for if reactivation occurs. Shows healthy high number for future response.
EA IGG Early active-your immune response is kicking in. Active infection.
EBNA IGG-Present for life like VCA. B Cell/memory cell copy of nucleus protien made to kill virus. 95% of ppl have this titer in numbers same as VCA.
5% of ppl do not make EBNA IGG titer. Like myself... further testing needs to be done to see if you are IGG Avidity or ELISA blood test. Will show past infection or acute from what I have read.
My titers are always
neg IGM
neg EA IGG
Pos VCA IGG >600
neg EBNA IGG
Same for 30 yrs... I am always tired... I drive for UPS and always sore..
