Thanks for all the links, everyone.
I just had an MRI on a 3T machine, and it showed a perfectly normal pancreas with zero suspicious findings.

The doctor thinks I’m likely just dealing with impaired glucose tolerance.
He's suggesting diet, more exercise, and stuff like that.

I can't help feeling a bit paranoid, though—what if he misread the scan? Is it really that hard to spot a tumor like that?

Later.

Hey everyone.
Because my doctor suspects an insulinoma, they’ve ordered an MRI of my pancreas due to these frequent bouts of hypoglycemia.
Has anyone here dealt with this? Maybe a family member or a friend...
The info online is pretty thin, so if there are any pros out there who can give me a more detailed breakdown of what this tumor actually entails...

Lmao, I have a question if anyone knows anything or has advice, since my follow-up isn't for another 15 days.
I dealt with this virus back in November 2010—felt like a nasty flu, and they confirmed it via serology.
On 11/30/2010, my serology looked like this:
CMV IgG 9900 Positive
CMV IgM 0.862 Positive

I ran the tests again a few days ago, and now it’s:
CMV IgG 29356 Positive
CMV IgM 0.235 Positive

Can someone explain what IgG and IgM actually mean? Can this virus still cause me trouble, and what kind of numbers do I need to see before the results come back negative?

Cheers
