What's going on with me?


I have symptoms that match 2 different diseases/cancer.My symptoms match Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Chronic Myelogenous Leukemis (CML). So here are my symptoms for CML...
tiredness or no energy,shortness of breath during physical activity (which isn't normal for me), occasional mild fever or night sweats, slow healing of cuts and excess bleeding, black and blue marks for no clear reason, pinhead size red spots under the skin, aches in bones or joints.A little note i find from researching this is that people with CML may feel tired and short of breath while doing everyday activities. My symptoms for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma..... swollen pain less lymph nodes in the neck, mild fever, night sweats,coughing--trouble breathing or chest pain,weakness or tiredness that doesn't go away, pain swelling, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen. If anyone has any answers for me i would greatly appreciate it.

probably anemia.
Don't go crazy over it go see a doctor and get a physical or a check-up.
Don't go crazy over nothing!

Anemia and deficiencies may cause many of your symptoms, splly if you are on a diet (not properly managed).
Get a check up, don't jump to such serious diagnoses.
Good luck!

Must see your doctor

go see your doc asap.....could be anything....but, i would certainly want to get treatment before it gets worse. some of the symptoms can go along with all sorts of common stress related illnesses....but, since i am not a doctor...i would not try to give a diagnosis. it could be serious though.....i wouldn't wait. i have a friend with non hodgkins....only symptom was the pinhead red spots and soreness and fatigue....it was diagnosed early and is in remission and she is doing great. so, again.....don't wait

Some of the symptoms sound like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but not all of them. But I would check it out anyways !

No easy answers. A simple blood test, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) will tell a lot. If your White blood cells are over 9000, then you most likely have a form of leukemia. Another test, also on the blood, called FISH, can pinpoint which type you may have, if you have leukemia. The fullness in the abdomen is usually typical of CLL, Chronic Lymphocitic Leukemia, which I have. That is from an enlarged spleen. Get checked out right away.

Your symptoms could be related to several different causes. Don't jump to conclusions, yeah, easier said than done. But, most importantly, you need to see your Doc, SOON. Let him/her evaluate you and perform any necessary tests. Bring along with you, a list of your symptoms so that you won't forget. It's easy to become distracted when you have an appt. with your Doc. Have you tried any over-the-counter medicines to alleviate your symptoms ?? Did they help or not ?? Your Doc will probably ask you this. I hope that this helps and Good Luck. Ruth
