From cold to sinus infection to Leukemia-like symptoms....

2 weeks ago- normal cold (2 days, recovered)
1 week ago- comes back as sinus infection/bronchitis

a few days into the new infection I went to the doctor, as it was getting worse. I was prescribed Amoxicillin. 3/4 days later (about halfway into course) I stopped taking the pills since I felt better. Two days ago I started to blow my nose a lot but I thought it was allergies. Then the mucus mostly went away (although I can "taste" it when I cough even though nothing's coming up) and that night I felt weak, dizzy, slightly confused, and when I got into bed I immediately got so cold that I had to wear sweats and all the blankets I had (didn't check temp but definitely a fever). I eventually fell asleep but was so cold. Today the symptoms are worse, but again, the symptoms changed from nonstop mucus/coughing/sneezing to fatigue, fever, chills, severe coldness randomly throughout day and always at night. My mouth/throat also feel really hot which is weird; I'm very hydrated. Also, slight joint pain in back, knees, shoulders.

So then I typed in my symptoms in along with fact that my immune system has been crap, and multiple sites said I could have Leukemia. I'm 18. College freshman, dorming. I'm very scared. It doesn't run in the family. Am I being ridiculous? Last night I started with remaining pills and tomorrow I'm going to UHS walk in.
