I used to get car sick, very badly and used to take those travel sickness pills. But as I got older it doesn't happen so much. I still cant read anything in a car, I start getting seriously nauseous.

you?

I'm DEATHLY with the motion sickness. Can't even ride in limos backwards. No more cruise ships for me, either. I can drive about five hours in a car and then that's it for me (that gets me to either Chicago or Cleveland from Detroit--even had to stop driving to Minneapolis). Dramamine doesn't work for me--just gets me high, but doesn't stop the sick feeling.

no no and no..

and yes i can read in the car, boat, aeroplane

Nope, never these days, and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I was more or less raised on a boat. We used to sail in the archipelago every summer when I was a kid, and we also used to drive to Norway at least twice a year, so I'm convinced that you can get used to certain types of motion.

It just doesnt work for me.. lol the dot doesnt move

Candied ginger works wonders for lots of people.



I don't usually get motion sickness, but I eat it anyway 'cause it's good.

REDFEATHERS said:

Dunno Red.

Oh my god, I tried that, I nearly puked. Its awful

It might work for some though.

Only if I try to read. I can do it for a few minutes at a time, but if I push it I get very sick.

It's YUM!

Yeah, I've never actually gotten sick, but I feel bad. I can't read or sleep in a car. I'm okay on a boat, but only a small one. If it's big the gradual rocking makes me nuts.

I will NEVER take a cruise, it sounds like pure torture

this is a good topic. yes, i have a case of motion sickness. this is going to sound strange but when i lived in the UK i used to get car sickness really bad but now that i'm in the US not so much. does that mean i'm allergic to UK cars?? also, i get nauseous on boats!

It's the driving on the left that did it to you.

I get motion sickness at movie theaters if I sit too close. I gotta be in the back like Rosa Parks.

Ginger! They need to stop putting that on my sushi plate!

You're insane.

FunkMistress said:

So says you and three medical studies.

live4lust said:

They need to take away your internet privileges again. You're scaring the rest of us.

Yes I do . The only thing that really helps me is using scopoderm patches for travel sickness, but they do have some side affects .

FunkMistress said:

In a detailed manner, describe your level of scaredyness. Be as specific as possible--I will be printing this out so that I can read and re-read it.

live4lust said:

Pickled radishes, even though they sound totally gross, are indescribably delicious in a falafel wrap with some good tahini and cucumbers. But usually they use those gross supermarket tomatoes that are, like, crunchy and pink. That part sucks.

FunkMistress said:

I'll get back to you after I've done some research.

dancerella said:

I dont know about that but there's smaller roads here which make for tighter corners, hence

LleeLlee said:

Yep, it has to do with my allergies though, it gets worse when I'm all blogged up by the allergy. Or when I have a cold.

I have never been able to do anything in the car but look outside. Even fastening my seetbelt while leaving the carpark will get me nauseous.

Whateva said:

wow, you've got a pretty severe case it sounds like....

dancerella said:

Well I might be a bit exaggerating but, I do feel queasy looking down in a car that's turning a corner.

And I'm hardly ever in a car, I might not be used to driving
