So I have been testing positive for IgG band 41+++ and struggled with low cd-57 count. I have almost no joint point, no seizures, but almost every other Lyme and co. symptom, especially neurological manifestations. I have Lyme and Babesia ducani. I have a feeling that I also have Bartonella but tested negative for B.henselae via Igenix. I've been doing treatment for 2 years now with no success. My brain fog is very intense and debilitating. I'm 23 and feel like I have dementia. I can't take classes and I'm very behind in school. Any ideas, advice, places to look, doctors to look into, anything at all would be much appreciated.
Also, I'm looking into doing Stem Cell therapy. Does anyone have any experience with stem cells or know someone who's gone through the process? Does it help at all?
Thank you so much for reading my post and for your energy.

Owllie, I would highly suggest that you look at Dr. Burrascano's guidlines, which can be found at the top of the questions in medical questions.
If your doctors is not treating in that style, I would find someone else.
Another thing to keep in mind is that it can take several years to feel better. It took my DD over two years of intense, Burrascano style treatment to even start to feel ANY better. I took her another three years of treatment to feel almost back to normal. She still struggles some with fatigue, but she got her cognitive functioning back and got rid of her neurological issues.

Band 41 is one band that is NOT specific for lyme.
If that is the only only band that you have positive I would say you don't have it. My daughter also only had band 41+ and I don't like Bb is her problem. However, she tested positive for Bart.
Based on your symptoms, Id say coinfections and/or mold may be good things to look at. Don't underestimate Mold. It can cause the same symptoms.
Check out Dr. Nathan's new book, Toxic, on amazon. He also has a cheaper book about "Mold & Mycotoxins - Current Evaluations and Treatment 2016"
