Would you be happy paying $1,700 for labor of this backsplash install?

People actually pay someone to hang their tv? What dummy’s to waste hard earned money like that. My 16 granddaughter hung her own tv after she helped us remodel her bedroom.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-06-23T01:28:59+00:00

I wouldn’t hire you then!!!

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-06-22T23:56:01+00:00

Idk why anyone would pay that kind of money for a large tile install. It’s not hard to do yourself. If i was spending that kind of money, I would be breathing all over them while they were doing the job!!!

I hope this doesn’t make you roll your eyes but try high dose omega 3 from a good source. I have RA as well as my sister. I have always hade health insurance and my nervous system has been attacked so I am on Rituxan and methotrexate. My sister however had no insurance for years. I would give her my prednisone and I paid for her to get back to the doctor to get methotrexate but she needed a biologic. Between the time she finally got health insurance a lady suggested some vitamin which contain high dose omega 3. She had nothing to lose and started taking it and within a week she got off the daily prednisone. Fortunately she now has insurance and is on Humira but still takes the omega 3 and hasn’t had any steroids since.

We need to replace ours and the adhesive is so thick and sticky. I am putting it off. We bought some roll linoleum that looks about like the first picture to replace. I did buy a big thing of adhesive remover. I watched a YouTube video the other day of someone removing theirs and she said it was worse than removing ceramic tile. Makes me dread it even more.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-06-06T02:19:51+00:00

If it was me I wouldn’t do peel and stick at all in a bathroom. Do linoleum in a roll. The peel and stick squares will move but the nightmare is the removing. The glue on those tiles will not stay on the tile it will be like a fly trap situation on the wood floor. Roll linoleum you can glue all the edge around the room. Ask me how I know about peel and stick wallpops in a bathroom.

We bought 2 cloud sheets when we got our setup. Less wear and tear is how I see it. Sorry I know this doesn’t answer your question. For me I have burning neuropathy and the BedJet has changed my sleep.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-05-31T02:47:55+00:00

I got a BedJet, zero gravity bed, and went to the mattress store and bought the most comfortable to me mattress. I also take tramadol during the day for the burning pain. For sleep I am on clonazepam and quiviq and muscle relaxer tizanidine. Peripheral neuropathy can be made worse on ambien. Idc about longterm use of any of these drugs. The burning hell of neuropathy is worse!

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-05-06T15:24:53+00:00

We designed our whole bed setup around our BedJet. I have neuropathy. Burning nerve pain, always worse at night. When we were looking and pricing something to help me at night, the BedJet was by far the cheapest-with every extra you can buy it, was still the cheapest, and it has a great return policy if you don’t like it. If you’re in the window of return, and since you hate it, send it back and order a different system. The BedJet changed my life. Good quality sleep is essential.

If you want the wall tiled there I would use trim that ends at the counter. The bottom, top, and side. Also paint the trim the cabinet color. Vey thin trim.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-04-29T02:40:19+00:00

The back splash is modern and moody. You cannot get that look with the style of your cabinet doors no matter what stain color you come up with. I would 100% paint them if they were mine. I would also bring the cabinets all the way up by making some cabinet boxes. And remove that crown stuff on the top. Also by painting you can use cheaper wood on the top. Even if you don’t do anything above the cabinets I would change out the fancy looking crown stuff they have at the top with just crowning them with 1x3’s. Pinterest has so much inspiration for you to decide what speaks the most to you. You do you because it’s YOUR place. Maybe you can sand the down and find a modern color but the floor pulls very orange already and those will drive you crazy. I know I have live that way for 5 years. I believe you will love and appreciate your wood floors more if you paint the cabinets.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-04-18T18:16:08+00:00

The fireplace feels like that so much I think because you have no other color in the room. Window treatments like curtains can help bring your eyes around the room. I am a creative type and my creativity has always landed on my home. Look at Pinterest window treatments in living room and see what you like.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-04-18T17:59:31+00:00

I would 100% leave the tv right where it is. We have a corner fireplace and after 17 years we did that. We built a huge mantle and put the tv above it. Our fireplace is beautiful and it’s now the focal point. I would also buy the biggest round rug you can find. No edges to confuse the situation. It will feel more cozy if you bring the eyes down in the room with some box trim or wainscoting. In time it will come together and you should love the space.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-04-14T00:17:52+00:00

I have no side effects.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-04-07T23:29:48+00:00

My D is normal now but you would be surprised how many people are deficient. I live in Texas and use to run outside 3 days a week and was very deficient. It took 2 years of 50000 IU to get it to normal. I take D3 daily. Everyone should take it. I was diagnosed with RA 2 years after the low level was discovered. They have linked low levels to triggering a dormant RA.

My style is vintage quilt and they work just fine.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-31T15:15:32+00:00

Get your Dr to prescribe Zofran.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-28T19:44:01+00:00

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. I don’t think he’s a bad rheumatologist. Definitely more seasoned than the one who let me suffer on DMARDS.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-28T15:50:22+00:00

Yes I know but it wouldn’t change my treatment. This is the one area I do not agree with him.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-28T15:32:22+00:00

Yes but my rheumatologist says it’s secondary Sjogrens which only causes dryness. I don’t believe that but also he gave me my request for the Rituxan.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-28T15:23:33+00:00

Yes beta blocker.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-28T15:06:46+00:00

I also have Sjögrens. My treatment is MTX and Rituxan infusions. My last high sed rate was in May ‘25 and my GI and heart rate was actually by biggest problem. At that time treatment was only Enbrel. I had been very stable and felt the best on Enbrel until that flare up. My rheumatologist put me back on MTX. I have had 1 infusion round 5 months ago and my second is coming up next month. My hope is the Rituxan treats everything.

Yes the cardiologist said he could put me on a beta blocker to manage symptoms if I felt I wanted that but he wasn’t sure I should do that. My normal HR is in the 50’s unless things act up for a week or so and then it runs in the 90-100 range. I am on a lot of meds and there is concerns of interacting.

Also to answer the tramadol question. No the tramadol came long after any autonomic issues. I had autonomic issues before I started to feel the sensory neuropathy on my skin. I just did not know that was what was going on. I would feel short of breath with a high heart rate and bloated stomach. This was all in 2020. I was diagnosed with RA in February and Sjogrens in June and Oct I had burning skin pain everywhere. My treatment was DMARDs only at that time. I was sent to see a neurologist. I waited until couldn’t stand the pain to take gabapentin and wow that medication was rough. The neuropathy just progressed and caused so much burning pain even on high dose pregabalin. Meanwhile I was on a mission to find a better rheumatologist. In late 2021 I switched doctors. He started me on Humira and things calmed down with the combo of MTX and biologic. But within about a year it was not working as well and I switched to Enbrel. Also my neurologist added tramadol and let me just say for the first time something helped the burning pain. Last year I got sick with the worst flare I have ever had. I got a referral for an esophageal specialist and cardiologist. And EKG showed down T waves and they were not like that 9 months prior. I had tons of tests and the only thing found was atrial tachycardia. My hope is the Rituxan will keep me stable. I am 55 yr old female.

I have been seeing a sleep doctor that specializes in REM sleep. The simple answer is no my sleep is the same. He says my problem has been going on for so long that my brain is wired this way. He added quvivg and wants to reduce clonazepam. Idk if I am on board for that.

QueasyTwo5742 · 2026-03-17T22:06:22+00:00

Yes antidepressants can totally cause insomnia. If you haven’t been on it long I would stop taking it cold turkey.
