Can Tick Bite Cause Lyme Disease?

I was bitten by a tick while in Germany about 2 months ago. Since then, I have been experiencing extreme fatigue and have had many headaches and a lot of stiffness of the muscles and joints, especially in my back. I did not get any kind of rash where the tick was, but do you think it could possible be Lyme Disease?
