Motion sickness

Go to sleep.

Think positively.

The last time I thought positively, I threw up in the middle of London after my first trip with plane

Have you ever taken anti-emetics?

You should try and sleep throughout the journey. Do not, I repeat DO NOT talk to anyone else who feels motion sickness, it just makes you feel sicker. Reading does this too so I'd suggest staying away from reading. I usually put in my headphones and listen to music on a really low volume level and shut my eyes, it helps a little.

Chewing gum helped me quite a lot, better than mints as you need to constantly chew.

Out of curiosity, what were the tablets you used to get from Boots called?

I have motion sickness sometimes and I have these tablets called 'Kwells' they work like a CHARM. I feel like if you keep thinking/worrying about being sick, the feeling will get worse. Distract yourself with music and all will be well (:


Hope I helped

I've had motion sickness since I was younger (I once threw up from eating a single sweet...), although it's got a lot better. I actually thought I'd grown out of it until I suddenly got it really badly with a car journey recently. Couldn't even sleep because every time I closed my eyes it got ten times worse, so yeah, sleeping is not necessarily a solution. What I find helps the most is looking at the road ahead (except on planes, where it's the opposite and it's looking out of the window that makes me feel sick since the plane doesn't usually feel like it's moving much otherwise unless there's turbulence) and trying not to move my head around/look around too much and just keep my eyes focused on one point on the horizon.

Apparently over the wing has the least movement on a plane, so you could ask the flight attendant if they can see if they can swap someone so you can sit there (or if there are free seats in that area after take off if the flight's not full then see if you can move).

Also, if it's that bad, maybe you can visit your GP before you go and see if they can prescribe you something stronger than what you can get over the counter?

What are those?

Can't remember the exact name but the packaging was grey with few pictures on it. Boots discontinued them, but they worked wonders! One tablet was enough for the whole day!

Here you go.

Was gonna see if there was an equivalent if you could remember.
I agree that hyoscine which is in kwells is pretty effective, so yeah try that on your bus tomorrow and see what you think.

anti-emetics are basically anti sickness tablets, your gp can prescribe them, usually something like cyclizine or promethazine.

also have you seen this page?

most of it's fairly common knowledge or has been mentioned, but have a look if you're bored!
