Hi Dsg,
Welcome to our community!
If you haven't already, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,
"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists (as Lyme rarely occurs by itself), helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, and a list of questions that you can ask any doctor that you are seeking treatment from​.
Please forgive me for such a short and to the point post - I've had a long night with an injured dog.
Band 41 indicates the tail of the bacteria, and there are several other spirochetal infections that can cross react.
Band 31 is actually indicative of Bartonella hensley:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC148071/But, Bands 31, 39 and 83 - 93 are specific to Lyme disease. Even though you have an IND (indeterminate) marked on these, they are very significant, as an IND only means that the results weren't quite strong enough to be considered "fully" positive, but there was a reaction. That means the bacteria had to be inside of you to get even an IND.
A well trained LLMD will treat based on these results if you also have symptoms of Lyme or other tick-borne infections like Bartonella, Babesia or others.
For information on finding a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor(LLMD) in your area, you can start a new thread titled something like:"Looking for LLMD
/LLND in the _______ area." Although you will need to enable your email option in your profile in order to receive any recommendations, as we don't allow doctor's names and contact info to be posted on the forum for several reasons. You can enable your email option in your profile, under 'edit profile'. Be sure to click the submit button to actually save your preference.

www.turnthecorner.org/ if you want to learn a little bit more about
Lyme Disease.
You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link:
www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74 You will want to find an ILADS (International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) trained doctor, as ID Docs (Infectious Disease Doctors) believe Lyme is hard to catch and easy to treat, and don't believe in the reality of chronic Lyme. The ILADS site is another great place to read to get you started on your Lyme journey.
