Bloody hell I've been ill.
I have had every symptom of illness I have ever heard of I think.
It's not covid, not flu what on earth is it?
Fever, hot / cold sweats, burning throat, aches everywhere, teeth, ears, feet, everywhere. And that's just the start.
Cough sounds like I'm coughing a lung up but nothing comes up with it.
Just about feeling right after 2 weeks.
Anyone else had this?

My wife had this identical to your description about 6 weeks ago . Constantly tested negative. In the end after 4 weeks doctor agreed steroids and antibiotics. She has underlying asthma.I have had every symptom of illness I have ever heard of I think.

I collected the drugs at the chemist and they asked if it was Covid. I said we had done loads of tests all negative and they said they had heaps of people in saying the same . They suggested it was Covid. The doctor also recorded her as Covid and was convinced this was what it was.
My mrs. had a cold a fortnight back, and I had it last week.
Annoying bit of coughing and some sneezing fits.
Lasted five days, that was it.
Around London on tubes and buses all the time and there seem to be a lot of sickly people out and about at the moment judging by all the hacking coughs.

Just getting over this hell after a week of it.
Lateral flows have all been negative, but my sense of taste has gone screwy again like it did when I got COVID last year.
I am sure you're right. My GF never tested positive - but lost taste and smell. Has recovered but can't eat mustard any more - abhorrent to her, she used to love it.NDA said:

Damned clever these Chinese.
Did no one ever lose their sense of taste and smell with a heavy cold or flu pre covid? I did, every time. Once your nasal passages get properly blocked your sense of smell goes, and once that happens your sense of taste goes with it (see, eg, videos of blindfolded people without a sense of smell eating an onion, thinking it’s an apple).

Saw this thread and then saw this as I flicked through Facebook. Seems its a thing.

Had this about a month back awful. Was worse than the covid I had in summer. Thought it was covid but negative 3 times. Knocked me out for a week then 2 weeks of slow recovery put it down to my immune system being fooked after covid as i never usually get ill.
My aunt has just had it too and sounds like my parents coming down with it just in time for Christmas listening to my old man hacking on the phone last night.
It's not at all pleasant.
