Can this gigantic rash in body be due to LEUKEMIA?

Resolved Question:

For the past few months I have been feeling extremely fatigued. I've been getting bruises and one time I got a gigantic rash that covered my whole body and it seemed to come out of nowhere. I have no appetite, I wake up at nights sweating profusely and my tonsils are swollen. Sometimes I go through periods where I get this intense pain feeling like it's coming from within my bones. I suspect that I may have leukemia and I was thinking about going to get it checked out, but the thing is tha I don't have petechiae and I hear that this is a big sign? I don't even know how to bring it up with my doctor.

Thank you for posting your query at Doctorspring.com ,
It seems from your history that you may have a disorder which needs immediate attention. Have you done any blood tests in the recent past ?
Tonsillar enlargement is possible in many conditions. Anaemia can cause fatigue, so as many other conditions. Low platelets can cause bleeding but there can be other reasons which needs to be ruled out. Night sweats are significant from your history.
I suggest you to meet your physician immediately to do a complete evaluation. Please get back to us with all reports.
Kind regards.
