I'm sorry about what happened to your DH, Jan.
I don't happen to take the CRABs, or steroids, so I understand your reluctance. I also understand toxicity to drugs as they were unable to save my mom from a treatable cancer due to drug toxicity (used for another condition).
In 1994, deaths from legal medications represented 4.6% of deaths, and they were the 4th highest leading cause of death in the US. Chances are those statistics are even higher now.

I've never heard of NRT. I'll have to look into that, thanks.
