Hi, first things first..I tend to worry a
lot about my symptoms, I might not even be
close to having leukemia, but I just worry
a lot.
Anyways, in late november I had a terrible
cold. It went away, but I still had a bit
of sniffles for another week or so. About
a week later, I started feeling dizzy,
like all day. Not spinning or anything,
almost like a fuzziness. That eventually
lead to a feeling of heavy head. I didn't
like it at all but it eventually went away
within 2 days. From then on i've been
feeling aches. I know this sounds strange
but the ache went from my neck, down to my
back, (almost feels like a stiffness more
than an ache), then down to around my
lower back/frontal area. Not the groin,
it didn't restrict my movement at all, but
it did ache for quite a while. I now feel
small little aches everywhere. Mostly on
parts of my arm and in my hands. And at
work where I stand up all the time, my
upper back will ache. Sitting down helps
it go away. I went to the doctor about
this and he said I had some viral
infection. Started with an m , I really
forget what its called.
I really don't know the difference between
bone and muscle pain. I never feel pain
at all, just a dull ache. I recently
caught a bit of a cold, just a stuffy nose
and a headache. This has gone on for a
few weeks now, but mostly just snuffy nose
and congested throat. I started feeling a
bit dizzy again in the past few days. But
its gone now. I've also had headache for
the past few days. Just like 1 or 2 a
day. I was also tired pretty much all day
yesterday and the day before. Yet I had
like 9 hours of sleep each of those days.
I don't feel any weakness at all, I still
have an appetite, and I haven't been
losing any weight. I dont' get night
sweats and no fevers at all.
I just would really like a good answer.
I'm prety sure I don't have leukemia, but
I still worry that I do for some reason.
I think about it all day pretty much,
thats how I am. I seem to worry too much.
And its making me feel a bit depressed.
But I still go out and do things with
friends and all that. The main thing
that bothers me in the upper back
pain/stiffness at work that I feel almost
all day after about a few hours of
working. Some days I don't even feel the
back pain/stiffness. It's weird.
Anyways, i'll prob go into my doctors
sometime this week to get a blood test
done just to tell my mind that I don't
have leukemia and that I can stop thinking
about it!

Hey! Sorry about the lateness of my
reply..... Have you found out anythinbg
from your doctor??
I strongly dont think its leukemia as it
doesnt seem like you have been overly
tired and your appetite is still there. As
your doctor said, it could be a bad dose
of a viral infection.
Due to the symptoms that you have shown i
would be surprised if it was found out
that you had leukemia!
My ex boyfriend had leukemia for 2 years
while i was with him so i do know a bit
about it and what they go through so feel
free to ask any question you want!
I wish you the very best of luck in your
recovery!!
