What Are the Signs Any Symptoms of Leukemia?

Question by TryToBePositive.: What are the signs any symptoms of leukemia?
I started getting bruising on my inner thighs for no reason, the doctor said that I could be scratching in my sleep but I highly doubt it, he also told me that it could be leukemia. I’m always tired, sometimes I don’t get hungry, I’m usually sore and my bones crack and pop, and I’m pretty pale. I was in the ER when the doctor told me it could possibly be leukemia and he told me he didn’t think that’s what it was but he told me to make an appointment with my family doctor as soon as possible and get blood tests done.. I’m a 17 year old female and I was wondering if these things are common or if I should be worried.

I was diagnoised with MDS(pre-leukemia). I also have Lyme desease.
You say your bones are sore,crack and pop. Me too…
I am so confused with all of this.

Go to a good hymotologist and they will be able to do blood work, that will show whether you have it.
So sorry to hear your feeling bad…especially at such a young age.
Good luck!
