About 4 months ago quite a few things seemed to start to happen to my physically at once. They have continued without any break to varying degree ever since.

Doctors seem disinterested/have no clue and its really starting to get me down as well as being a bit of a worry!
So far I have had swabs to confirm thrush, a round of antibiotics for the cough which made not differnece and chest xray which was clear.

Persistent cough - varying from tickly, barking, phlegm, all night, all day, sometimes loss of voice, sometimes sore throat. Its pretty bad and very embarrassing and irritating as its noisy and constant

Mouth sensations - always a greasy kind of film inside my mouth. Like I've just eaten a mouthful of clotted cream. Also dry at the same time. Odd taste metallic

Constant (swab confirmed) thrush - Not able to control even with back to back over the counter treatments, lower pelvic tummy ache, sore internally. No history of thrush previously

Pains in legs, extremely painful calf cramping during the night

I just feel like someting has taken over me and I can't shift it.
Any ideas???

I had a dry throat and cough for 3 months, plus a really sore tongue and inside my lips, just stopped about 4 weeks ago, it drove me mental I would cough all night. I always wondered if it was an allergy, I was jabbing at the time and it seemed to correlate. Are you using WLIs?

Re thrush -

Why It Keeps Coming Back
Resistant Yeast Strains: A different, slower-growing species of yeast (such as Candida glabrata) may not respond to standard over-the-counter treatments. 1, 2]
Underlying Health Conditions: Poorly controlled diabetes, a weakened immune system, or hormonal shifts (pregnancy, menopause, or hormone replacement therapy) can disrupt the body's natural balance. 1, 2, 3]
Lifestyle & Triggers: Frequent antibiotic use, tight or synthetic clothing, scented soaps, douches, and damp gym or swimwear create an environment where yeast thrives. 1, 2, 3]
