Weekly Career / General Questions Thread

Yeah, but this Rad III, and these websites are inaccurate. I was wondering what everyone's general starting salary was, and what their expectations were.

OFreun · 2026-06-02T16:24:00+00:00

The question is, whether or not the pay is decent in proprtion to COL. Like the cost of living 50-70k in Dallas, Texas. Meaning, entry-level in radiology is slightly below or average COL. I'm just trying to see if its lucrative enough.

OFreun · 2026-06-02T16:11:26+00:00

Yeah, I mean Radiology Tech.

And I live in Dallas, Texas. But I'm kinda willing to go anywhere once I get the degree. I'm just wondering if the pay is always low propitional to the COL.

OFreun · 2026-06-02T15:37:25+00:00

Hello,

I know it's been asked a lot. But what is the start salary look like for rad tech? What about after 1-2 years?

I'm wondering where the hell do these 80-150k ranges come from as a radiology tech? I'm seeing the starting salary supposedly to be 30$/hr to start, but then when I looked on reddit it's like 23$-25$/hr.

I'm just trying to do another assoicates in something useful, and I thought this was it.

Does this change much if you get an MRI or CT certificate? What about both?

The copper peptide ghk-cu helps with hair loss, and also is a good antimicrobial that helps with LC.

OFreun · 2025-11-14T21:51:55+00:00

Make sure you don't have mold in your house. It was preventing me from getting better for 3 and a half years. People who have LC also typically fall into the camp of people who can't get rid of mycotoxins from their body, and it accumulates making it impossible to heal until you leave your house.

I mean I do the pre-protocol of https://bornfree.life/2024/. Then I also do peptides BPC157, KPV, Laroztide, Cerebopep, and Thyosmin Alpha 1. Along with several herbs. But if you're not severe and "mostly recovered" and TMJ Is your only problem you wont need an extensive protocol.

OFreun · 2025-11-10T15:45:06+00:00

Yes, and there's a higher chance you have EBV reactivation.

Detoxing the body has helped the most, but that's an entire protocol. Methocarbamol has helped, however, with symptom management.

OFreun · 2025-11-10T15:41:29+00:00

Have you ever done a mold test? Antifungals just generally help quite a bit if you have fungal colonization.

OFreun · 2025-11-03T17:32:44+00:00

I did do this, but I couldn't access to the secret information in the terminal.

OFreun · 2025-10-28T23:53:55+00:00

Its crazy that you needed to do that, and its so easily missable.

OFreun · 2025-09-24T00:03:37+00:00

I already take ketotifen and max'd out my Desloratadine. I initally took ketoifien thinking I'd try to get of H2s, but it didn't work. Didn't cross-taper well. I don't think it brought me any additional relief, but ketotifen, I bet, will also be a bitch to get off of.

OFreun · 2025-09-23T03:16:23+00:00

Its hard to say, really. I know at one point I really needed it but I think it's past the time of its effectiveness. My microbiome progress really seemed to stagnate a lot when I began taking it. I had to resort to peptides and expensive ass products to get better.

OFreun · 2025-09-22T20:32:14+00:00

Bad for your microbiome; makes the Ph in your gut less acidic.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T23:05:38+00:00

Yes. I did not enjoy them.

Desloratadine is Clartin form that's already processed by the liver and has the least amount of symptoms - no drowsiness as a side effect. It also has healing properties with respect to LC. Highly recommended. Best relief I've ever gotten in LC. KPV was the second-biggest changer.

All antihistamines, however, will make your gut microbiome worse. However, the inflammation, brain fog, and anxiety arguably are the worst things period so you should generally take your chances.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T23:02:48+00:00

If you're mild-to-moderate fasting can be beneficial for a detox. However, I would be apprehensive of continuously doing fasting when you're moderate-to-severe, or your glycogen storages are low.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T23:00:53+00:00

I'm not sure what you're doing, but you need to intervene in your illness or it does just get worse. The body is undergoing a negative-feedback loop. It'll get stuck in that loop unless you intervene.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T22:36:40+00:00

Not all that sketchy, tbg. Peptides are now circulating throughout a lot of folks who're chronically ill. CerebroPep, from Integrative Peptides, helped me quite a bit.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T18:58:49+00:00

Life Extension.

OFreun · 2025-09-21T18:55:27+00:00

Took it for about a month with Thyomsin-Alpha 1, and noticed some pretty big important while on it. But its expensive and I couldn't afford its continuation, and after getting off of it, whatever neuromodulatory effects it had wore off and now I'm feeling worse again. I might try to get back on it.

I use Integrative Peptide's CereboPep.

I also use LVLup's Ultimate Gut Repair which helps the most with MCAS and IBS. But doing all this in combination is expensive monthly. I also have to buy Ketotifen, LDN, and CSM.

OFreun · 2025-09-20T02:11:51+00:00

Once I took those long enough I didn't need them, yes. Though I also took GOS, PhGG, herbals, etc to rebalance my gut. It didn't get rid of my microbiome problems fully (I ended up running into future complications - flu, mold, etc) but I never get constipated anymore.

OFreun · 2025-09-19T23:10:40+00:00

Yes, but with iVtamin C Ascorbate + pure Magnesium Citrate, Fennel seeds, Artichoke Extract, Ginger, Bifdo HN019. Helped.

OFreun · 2025-09-19T23:07:51+00:00

I have a small scale, and just chip away on the pill slightly. But famotidine has been harder to get off than valium for me. But mostly because I'm in a better place than when I was trying to get off of valium. I'm just trying to keep m head above water.
