Default Could I have lymes?

I'm sure a lot of people here that have had lymes were tested for MS too, am I right? Well, my older sister who lives in WY got it but didn't have the rash. I live in Texas, where from what I've been told isn't a common state for lymes, but it's the one thing I haven't been tested for yet as far as my symptoms are concerned.

Symptoms between one instance last year and now are:

numbness
electric shock type pains that come and go
abornmal sensations (crawlies, pin pricks)
muscle twitches
headaches
hair loss

There were a series of months in-between where I felt completely fine, so can lymes symptoms come and go if you have it? Does anyone know if you can get it in Texas? I have never recalled a tick on me. I haven't had flu like symptoms either, so is it possible to not carry all the symptoms? Of course I don't want lymes, but when it comes to this or something like MS I'd be hoping for the lymes since you can recover from it. I'm not even sure if there are any doctors where I live that are knowledgable enough when it comes to lymes. :/

have you ever traveled outside of Tx? or lived with (even just a visit) with someone from a more likely locale? The hair loss may indicate thyroid issues. good luck
