Statin use indicated in Parkinson's
I’m wondering how many people on this listserve used statins before being diagnosed with PD. My friend was diagnosed 2-3 years after taking statins. He stopped taking them once I told him about this study:

Hi Linda, thank you for posting this topic, I had not heard of this, but then again I never took statins.. What other options does your friend have if he no longer takes statins?
I am not surprised if this indeed has something to do with PD.

Did your friend improve after going off Statins? I wonder how many of this sites users are on Statins??
I’m very curious about this topic as I’ve been on Crestor for 15 years. I was diagnosed with PD in 2017.
