What do these symptoms sound like? im worried about diabetes...?

I am an 18 year old female. I am slightly overweight (about 15 pounds).
Every day, 2-3 bruises show up mysteriously.They are about half an inch in diameter and are painful.
It seems like after every meal, I feel sick. Im not sure if i have fever, but I feel just ughhh.
I am constantly tired, and have lost about 5-7 pounds somehow, without diet or exercise.
I also have a big bruise on my leg that has been there since feb. and i also dont know where that one came from. I read that itchiness and irritability are a symptom of diabetes, and i have both of those.
i feel like i can never get enough sleep.
my pain tolerance has gone down really low, it seems like any little thing hurts really bad.
i feel tired and like crap every time i eat...and its starting to annoy me.
I have a dr. appt. on friday...
does anyone know what this might be?
im also worried about leukemia...both run in my family :(

I'm afraid that sounds very much like leukemia... Good job going to the doctor soon! Some people wouldn't be that smart.

I'll be praying for you tomorrow! Hope everything turns out good and not like it sounds. Maybe it is just a deficiency that can be taken care of easily! *hugs*! Report Abuse

bruising is generally due to a deficiency, in one or more nutrients, which are vitamin E C K bioflavonoids and Zinc, this may be the reason why you are feeling tired and generally down. Your doctor will probably run some tests etc., to determine the cause of your symptoms, and perhaps recommend a diet to include all of these. Hopefully all will be well. Good Luck.!

Anemia of any sort would lead to the way you feel...GO TO THE DOCTOR!
