I am an RN and of course went on my own journey trying to figure out what was wrong with me. My Endocrinologist wound up sending me to Mayo for further testing. After 7 months of testing and them not coming up with anything, I started my own research again. This is when I found out about IPS. Sent an email to my endocrinologist at Mayo telling him what I found and guess what? Yep he agreed with diagnosis. You would think after being seen and tested by the best of the best that they could have figured this out. Here’s the kicker, now that we know what it is, I am being sent back to my PCP for future visits. It’s laughable. Of coarse, there aren’t very many doctors out there that even know about this, so I am on my own. I am hoping that I can get some help from this forum. I too always have a normal BS, but my labs do show a higher than normal insulin level. An insulinoma has already been ruled out amount several other things. I have been out on disability from this problem and would really like to get my life back. Oh, btw, I have gained 50lbs since this all started and can no longer stand myself. Little meals dont work for me. I am literally eating every 2-3 hours. I am being held hostage by this IPS!</p></blockquote><p></p>
