 Tom thanks for your response. I was seen by visiting nurses a couple of days back. The blood work I'd had done showed I might be slightly anemic. I wasn't given an iron shot at that visit, but my doctor called in a prescription to help me out, though she wanted me started with a B-12 shot.(the home visit) That I got in my right hip from one of the nurses. And because there was a concern as to my body temperature being lower than it should be; while I was on my stomach about to receive the B-12, I had a rectal core temperature reading taken with some type of low reading thermometer. I was low. The shot wasn't too bad. If I do need and get the iron shot(s), I'll advise. Right now I feel great between the prescription and that B-12 shot. But I might be monitored a bit more for my low body temperature. I questioned the route (rectally) and was told it was a core reading and that is what the doctor wanted measured, so in my butt went the thermometer. No biggie though. I've had a colonoscopy, so a thermometer is no real concern, just wasn't expecting it to be taken anally. Thanks again for your response.
