I had a bone marrow transplant in 2018. I have a high temperature of 39.7°C, experienced rigors while driving, and took Panadol.

My partner has been experiencing acid indigestion and bloating after meals, particularly with breakfast porridge and oats. She has a history of IBS and has had tests for thyroid issues in the past.
