Her handler had to have a Parkinson's injectable.
One dopamine agonist, apomorphine (Apokyn), is a powerful and fast-acting injectable medication that promptly relieves symptoms of PD within minutes, but only provides 30 to 60 minutes of benefit. With training provided by the Parkinson’s specialist, people with PD, spouses and family members can be taught to administer the agent, using a pre-filled syringe system. Its main advantage is its rapid effect. It is used for people who experience sudden wearing-off spells when their Parkinson’s medication abruptly stops working, leaving them unexpectedly immobile. Apomorphine may cause severe nausea, and so people using this agent must take an antiemetic agent. In addition, apomorphine can provoke dyskinesias and other side effects associated with dopamine drugs.
She got her shot, waved, and off she went.
