Last immunization was 1985, and had a fairly severe reaction of measles rash and arthritic pain in all joints. No infection since then...Will any infection elevate the levels? And are these levels not abnormally high? Could this be an indication of another problem that I need to address?

Brief Answer:
No problems- relax

Detailed Answer:
Unlikely to be any other problem.
Subclinical infections can keep happening.
They keep the immunity boosted up.
Besides some vaccines and infections give long lasting immuninty
example chickenpox
In fact if the titres were low, then I would be worried for any of my patients
