Leukemia vs. Anemia: Which one does this sound most like?
-unexplained, excessive bruises (ranging in size from a grapefruit to a loaf of bread)
-constant tired (always falling asleep in class)
-constant headache
-leg and back pains (this may be unrelated)
-always freezing
-purple-ish rash on my left arm
Just wondering, because if I'm iron deficient, then I'll just up my iron intake; If this sounds more like leukemia, I need to see a doctor
Also, everything but the back pain is fairly recent.
- Hey!
That could be so many things, you'll need to see a doctor.

See a Dr.
A simple blood test will clarify the probem.
Why take the chance of a misdiagnosis by a stranger on the internet who may have no qualifications causing you to delay correct treatment?

Simple Haemogram will clinch the real problem.
To me it is anaemia with low platelets with clotting disorder.
Go for Expert consultation and investgations.

I hope that it's anemia and not leukemia, because leukemia is worse.
So I suggest go to the doctors IMMEDIATELY. I wish that you don't have both...but please see a doc already.
Every second counts when you have a disease.

See an MD, get a CBC and the MD can tell you by your H/H, WBC, MCV, and other blood counts EXACTLY where the problem lies (like if it is Iron Def. or B12 Def) and how to treat it.
The bruising may explain a clotting disorder, again see an MD.
