I don’t know what is wrong with me at the minute but I feel completely floored. I have had a chesty cough for over 2 weeks and coughing up clay like phlegm (sorry tmi) I can just about manage in the day topped up with painkillers but I keep waking up in the night with body aches and shivering. I have no idea what it is, even my eye sockets hurt

I had this about 4 weeks ago, it was awful. Only had the main symptoms for about 3 days but I've still got a cough now. It's awful

Yep. I've had a terrible phlegmy cough going into week 3. My brain hurts every time I cough.

A couple of months ago I had one where my eyeballs hurt too!!

Not had a cold for 3 years then a weird flu and now this bloody cough in the space of 3 months.

My husband has this and it’s lasted 6 weeks so far !! He’s had 2 sets of antibiotics and each time they finished it has come back . He is waiting to see the doctor again

Yep, never had a headache like it! Took my whole office out! Negative on a Covid test!
