Teak I understand what you think here, but please don't assume us all are suffering from stress or anxiety symptoms or something. We have real health concerns here, and it does look like XXX or some very strange virus as coz80 would say. Anxiety won't give people swollen lymph nodes and white furry tongue, but virus could.
Coz80 I really have no idea what is this, I have heard from another person who got similar symtoms too,  or even worst. She is conclusively negative but still suffer badly from symptoms. Most of her doctors still worried it could be XXX or something because of her symptoms, but again she is conclusively negative even today so they don't really know what is it. There are definitely some strange unknown virus around, just hope it is not as deadly as XXX, maybe some type of mono hopefully.

In my tongue also I do not feel any pain but dense white coating........
I think my smoking habit could be the reason of 11 week negative.??
have you seen a doc for your throat??
only 5-6 days more to count down.......
I will never be the same again??   :=((
either this is XXX or some very strange virus or something??
I have seen few people on net with same conditions but with 12/13 week negative.
This miracle is my only hope.......

The back of my throat still doesn't look good, its been going on for months, no pain though, just disgusting look. Eating chips can only help to make it look better temproary, plus I enjoy eating chips too, but that said it probably helps nothing at all, doesn't hurt much though.
