Are these the symptoms of leukemia?I think i have leukemia!... I have all the symptoms of leukemia... like tiredness, bruising really bad and quickly, losing weight for no reason, bad headache that has not gone away for 4 days, sweating really bad all the time and aching... i don't feel myself at all... feel ill all the time.. can anyone help me please?
I don't want to go to the doctors because it might be nothing and i would look silly.

Of course this could be many different diseases. Because many include headache, sweating, and aching. But either way you should go to the doctor. Like you said, you feel ill all the time. You wouldn't look silly going to the doctors. You would look smart. You're worried and there could be something wrong. Tell the doctor all of your symptoms and point out that you're worried about leukemia, and the doctor will run a blood test. Just go to the doctor's and have them check you out.
Best of luck to you and I hope you are feeling better soon!

I'd worry more about not catching something early, rather than looking silly if I were you. Those could be symptoms of many things, and you need to know for sure.

They even have online counselors you can chat with.

If your worried, go to the doctor. First and foremost, not even a doctor can diagnose you with leukemia without a blood test..what makes you think we are going to be able to??
However, one other thing to look for, purplish/red looking dots on your skin. They can be anywhere...but check the legs. That is where my daughters were. When you push on the dots, they SHOULD change color temporarily. If it is leukemia, they will not.

A someone above stated, the symptoms you list can be any number of diseases or illnesses, many which are not very serious, especially if you are older. I would definitely recommend seeing a doctor soon, as it could be something serious such as leukemia(though I honestly don't think it is leukemia for the symptoms you described, but I am also not a doctor).
I have anemia(low iron) and we have many of the same symptoms, and it is treated very easily by taking 2 iron pills a day. Some of the other illnesses they come to mind are thyroid problems, mono, or just stress due to something recent or a major change in you life.
I would also recommend going to WebMD's "Symptom Checker" and see if that gives any suggestions.
Hope you feel better soon!
