EBV is very common . You can be exposed, and have no symptoms.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23868878

"The prevalence in 2009-2010 by age group was as follows: 6-8 years, 50%; 9-11 years, 55%; 12-14 years, 59%; 15-17 years, 69%; and 18-19 years, 89%."

The stat I've most commonly read on adults is that 95% will show antibodies for it.

ebv,herpes simplex 1 and chickenpox is very common, almost everyone is exposed to it by adulthood.

peripheral neuropathy, unlike autonomic have so many causes, that you cant really pinpoint an actual disease.
