Traveling with an apomorphine pump is definitely something worth planning ahead for! While the search results don't specifically mention airport security experiences, there are some practical tips that can help make the process smoother.

Here are some general recommendations for traveling with an apomorphine pump:

- Carry documentation — Ask your neurologist for a letter explaining your pump and why it's medically necessary.
- Bring your medication paperwork — Keep the original prescription and medication brochure with you.
- Notify TSA in advance — You can contact the TSA Cares helpline before your trip for assistance and guidance.
- Keep supplies in carry-on luggage — Never check your pump or medications in case luggage is delayed or lost.
- Arrive early — Give yourself extra time at security to avoid stress, which can worsen symptoms.

It would be worth posting this question to your MyParkinsonsTeam community, as fellow members who use an apomorphine pump may have firsthand airport experiences to share with you!
