Leukemia fears

[ShaunRyder]

Worried about leukemia and keep thinking I have symptoms.

For about 2 weeks I have been waking up in the night really hot, not sweating just really hot.

Start of the year I had a bad virus/infection for about a week and now I since yesterday I seem to have another one and also I have two mouth ulcers and have felt fatigued since Monday.

But I am trying to remain positive and think of reasonable explanations.

I had a few drinks Saturday night for the first time in ages and had a bad hangover so maybe it could be to do with that. The mouth sores only came up today and I binge ate loads of crisps and cake and ate load of salted peanuts due to anxiety, my diet has actually been bad all week because of worrying. I've also just felt very low in general, no interest in doing anything and just feel like laying down watching TV.

Also I have started a new job and getting up much more earlier.

Would anyone be worried about these symptoms about leukemia or is it more likely I am run down?

OK so I've just gone and been stupid and googled it again and another symptom was chills and I have slight chills on and off since this afternoon!!!!

Time to join the "No Googling" thread?

Or see your Dr and get a blood test as it's easily detected this way.

I could, but I haven't been to the doctors in the 2 years for a health anxiety related worry, I don't want to go back to the cycle unless I or others feel I really have to get checked out.

So now my anxiety has just got worse, I can now feel a sore hard lump back of my head, there is a spot just above it but surely a lymph node would be movable?

Something really isn't rightb

There is a small sore spot and below a little there is a hard lump that is sore

Just got my mum to have a look, she said it looks like a spot under the skin as it's red and she said it isn't rock hard and is it a little soft. Still not convinced as it feels rock hard and doesn't feel right, it's another symptom of leukemia

Dude... you're really spiraling. Might be beneficial to log off and go for a walk or something.
