are these residual effects of lyme disease?

I have been tested for everything BUT Lyme disease.  I don't think I would have much exposure though I live in Ct.  I never felt sick either.  But I started with painful then numb tongue with little saliva production.  The salive issue is much better, my tongue still tingles and is at times painful.  In addition, I have blanching of my hands throughout the day and seem to been more than usual sensative to cold.   I also had tingling and numbness of fingers, which is resolving.  My hands and feel peeled and itched.  i am left with numb areas on the balls of both feel.

The last time I watched Dr. OZ on Oprah he was saying that ticks not only carry the bacteria responsible for lyme disease, but they also carry many viruses as well. EEEWWW.

It doesn't take much for exposure.  I walked about 50 feet in a field and pulled a tick off my head later that day.  All you have to do is walk in a grassy area.
