LouiseT doesn't seem to be on-line at this time.

This is not complete. It has no subject. It is a negative sentence because it has the word "never".

I have never felt better.

Agree never is negative. But by that does this sentence mean If the person has never felt better this way. or can it also mean that ' The person did not feel better means he/she was suffering.'

OK. I see the difference you're trying to express.

If you feel so good that it is the best you have ever felt,

I have never felt better.

If you were ill and nothing you tried made you feel better,

Nothing made me feel better (when I was ill).
