[Trombone-l] Beta-blocker info requested

[Wayne Dyess]

I didn't say they were addictive, nor habit forming.  I was merely  
saying that my son got addicted to pain killers.

And for THAT reason, I tend to stay away from any kind of pills.

FLAT ! ! !

Please do not read anything into my comments that were not said.  I'm  
not trying to imply anything about anything.

But I do stand firm in my belief that you are always better off if  
you don't HAVE to resort to some kind of pill.

That's all.
