The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

An update Posted by Beverly on 11/25/2025, 12:38 pm The past six months my entire gastro system has been in an uproar. For a couple months stomach, esophagus and gums. had been burning, too. It was so painful. It felt like the worst effects gerd I'd ever had. I had that years ago. I noticed that dairy made it burn mouth, throat and stomach were the worst after would eat dairy. About 2 weeks ago I stopped eating dairy. I have felt some improvement. So am sticking with that for now. I believe what I have now is an intense Crohns flare up. I have a colonoscopy in a few weeks. I miss Murray a lot. I miss is company, conversations, having special dinners... I miss being able to just turn to him and ask him what he thinks about something l am thinking about.. a lot Much more.

Oh, Beverly... Posted by Joan on 11/26/2025, 6:50 am, in reply to "An update" I am so sorry to read you are in pain! That is so much for you to handle. I know how much you must miss Murray. You can talk to him in heaven. He will hear you. Praying for you!

Beverly…. Posted by Cindy on 11/25/2025, 8:18 pm, in reply to "An update" I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. I believe our loved ones are always with us. I talk to my mom all the time and it helps. It even seems at times that I know what she is saying back to me. I’m sure some people think I’m nuts for saying that-but I believe it to be true. I continue to pray for you my sweet friend. We are all here for you.

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 11/25/2025, 10:18 pm, in reply to "Beverly…." I talk to my mom all the time too. Thank you for your wonderful prayers and good thoughts.

So much to deal with. Posted by Paula on 11/25/2025, 7:23 pm, in reply to "An update" I'm glad you shared about Murray. I always wonder but don't always want to ask. I can't imagine how hard it is to be without him, especially when you don't feel well. Gentle hugs and lots of love.

Paula Posted by Beverly on 11/26/2025, 1:06 am, in reply to "So much to deal with." I appreciate your concern, love, and hugs. You are right. It is hard some days. 🩷

((( Beverly ))) Posted by Krista on 11/25/2025, 5:41 pm, in reply to "An update" It breaks my heart that you are in so much pain. Is there nothing that the doctors can do? I don't know much about gatro issues or Crohn's. I wish there was a solution they could offer you quickly. Murray is looking down on you from Heaven and I know he is watching over you, always. Again, my heart goes out to you, sweet friend.

Krista Posted by Beverly on 11/26/2025, 5:52 am, in reply to "((( Beverly )))" I thìnk I will know more after my colonoscopy. I have a follow up in early January. The best thing I've done so far is stop eating and drinking dairy. I love the thought of Murray looking down at me.

I am so sorry that everything Posted by Detla on 11/25/2025, 2:33 pm, in reply to "An update" is so hard for you right now. If you haven't seen a doctor, please do. I am not up on Crohn's, so I don't know if it makes gums and esophagus get painful, too. What I do know is that both my mother and brother have had esophageal thrush as well as having it in the mouth and nose, and I have seen a lot of adults and kids who have been having horrific flares on the internet lately. None of the doctors caught it right off. My mother and brother both had to ask if it could be fungal or candida and request tests. It might be worth your while to get an appointment and ask. If it is either, it is usually easily treated, but it can spread all over the body if not treated. I hope that you can find answers quickly and get things going the right way for you.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 11/26/2025, 6:02 am, in reply to "I am so sorry that everything " I did get an appointment for a few weeks after my colonoscopy. Thanks so much for your thoughts, ideas and encouragement. It has been very helpful!
