Is this leukemia or a chronic illness?

Hello, this is a pretty difficult question but maybe some people will have something that might help me. Please, try to help if you know anything, I am so so worried.

lately I’ve been suffering from:

Extreme Tiredness Persistant Headaches Fatigue Very Weak Muscles Shortness of Breath No Appetite Frequent Heart Palpitations Drying Skin VERY OFTEN - Extreme bouts Sore Joints, and spells of very sore bones Feelings of sadness, confusion, mood swings. Sweating Exessively, especially at night.

I’m 16 years of age. I also am extremely pale and bruise with little more than a heavy handed touch. I feel my finger nails have become very brittle, and I’ve also lost a bit of weight. I’ve also had a couple of nosebleeds which are not characteristic of me.

I was suggested to by a good friend this may be more serious than just an cold or flu - as it has been persistant for many months now. she even mentioned leukemia which has me completely worried.

PLEASE help me with any info you have. I will be so appreciative, I really am desperatly worried.

The effects of it are much the same as you have! “ fever,chills,night sweats,flu like symptoms weakness-fatigue,swollen or bleeding gums, headache, enlarged liver and spleen= rigid abdomen, infections, bone/joint pain, dizziness, swollen tonsils, diarrhea,pailness”. You doc will do simple blood test to find out! Please see your. Family doc right away and tell them what you might have before entering the hospital !!
