When any Virus dont live outside the living organism and dies as soon as it comes out, how can it transmit itself from person to person through infected needles, blood transfusion and naked sex etc? Further differing blood group of persons would also make difficult to permit change over bodies(infect)?

I went to the doctor because I have been having a horrible time sleeping. The nurse took my blood pressure and it measures 145/95. However, I am always super nervous while at the doctor. So upon pikcing up my meds, I purchased a blood pressure monitor at the pharmacy.

At home while relaxed it measures 128/84 and ranged up and down a little until I went to bed.

Upon waking, when I was just getting up, it measures 119/74, but after I ate, had half a cup of coffee it measures 136/88.

So since mine seems to vary so much, active up and about versus in bed and relaxed, how does one gauge whether or not it is high?

Thanks

I put a tampon in as usual and it felt weird going in, but I didn't think anything about it. Well when it was time to take it out there was no string to be found so I just thought it had fallen out and I didn't realize it. Then a couple days later I started to smell a foul odor from down there, so I stuck my finger in and I can feel it WAY BACK in there, but I can not get a hold of it. Will it fall out on its own and if so how long will that take. I am just really embarressed that it happened in the first place that I do not want to go to the doctor and just want to know if it will come out. Only serios answers please, I already know how stupid this is, I don't need supid comments. Thanks

and she has given up on chemo. The cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and she is now just on oxygen and pain killers. We don't know how much time she has left. My boyfriend (of almost a year) has been a little depressed on and off. He gets grumpy and angry for no reason that he knows. He is normally a very laid back, calm person. Its just unlike him. What can I do to support him and help him through this?

My Mom has a septate uterus, she delivered my younger brother [in 1990] by midwife, at home. In the middle of labor her contractions completely ceased for approx. 1 hr., the midwives were able to begin her contractions again and labor continued successfully. Once my brother was born her uterus would not contract back. They gave her a shot of pictosin and four midwives put their knees and elbows into her uterus to contract it [which did, thankfully]. Does anyone know why this would happen, or if it is related to her septate uterus?

How would you deal with a boyfriend who is a type 2 diabetic and has fallen into a coma and the doctor keeps telling you he's getting worse and worse? My fiance and I are in that situation. He's been in the hospital for 3 days and I don't know what to do. Please help!

My boyfriend got hit in the eye by a box a week ago. On monday he started feeling pain and it has now progressed to his bottom eyelid being red and swollen and hurts him when he blinks. But there is no head , its not watering, pussing, or anything. It is just very swollen. He isnt sure if it is even from him being hit in the eye or if it is an infection. Anyone have any suggestions?
