Your doctor can prescribe Scopolamine patches, known as Transderm Scop patches. These are applied behind the ear and provide relief from motion sickness for up to 96 hours. They are particularly effective for travel by planes, boats, long car rides, and visits to amusement parks like Disney or Universal. Common side effects include difficulty focusing on small print and mild dehydration, so it's important to stay well-hydrated while using them. Watch more: Anoko to Iikoto Episode 2 on hentaiz |

I guess that is one thing to look forward to. 😂 I’ve never heard this. I’ve had motion sickness my entire life. Can’t watch anything 3D either. I’m sure with light blue eyes I’ll develop cataracts. Unfortunately, I did not have the same results. |

I was that baby who arrived wherever it was going wearing nothing but a nappy, having thrown up all over everything else.
I was that child who had to look out of the window throughout every car journey, and who travelled with a bucket in the back seat.
I was that teen who got teased for taking travel sickness pills before every bus and coach ride, and could get sick in a rowing boat on the duck pond.
I was the young adult who was frightened to learn how to drive, then discovered that the only time I didn't get travel sick was when I was driving.
Or to put it another way, I always thought that Ford cars like my father's were the cars that made me sick. Then they sold it and got a Vauxhall, and I added Vauxhalls to the naughty list. Then they got a Mazda... and I realised that it was probably dad's driving!
Now I only get travel sick if someone else is reversing, or driving while I try to map-read (SatNav and phones are fine). Trains and planes have always been fine.

Have always been prone to car sickness and so is my mom. It seems to have gotten worse as I have gotten older or after having kids. I am almost always the driver for this reason.

I developed it post kids in my late 20s. Had zero issues as a child with lots of car trips and boating - my mom and sibling suffered terribly but I wasn’t even slightly queasy. Went on our first solo trip post kids to Hawaii and realized all was not the same on a catamaran. Boats in particularly really bother me which can make scuba diving a challenge.

Your doctor can prescribe Scopalomine patches. One bran is called Transdermscope patches. You put one on behind one of your ears and they last for 72 hours. They are lifesavers for people prone to motion sickness. I wear them on planes, boats, long car rides, and at amusement parks like Disney or Universal. The only side effects I get from them is it makes it hard to focus on,/read small print, and can dry you out some, so you have to hydrate well. I used one of the patches once. I'm not sure if it was too much of the drug or just what--but the next day I felt like a train hit me. I felt awful and slept most of the day.
I am glad the wrist bands work for me because there is no drug in my system.

I've had motion sickness since I was a kid. My parents used to tell me they thought it was self-induced and a result of jealousy when my sister was born (I was 2) and she got to ride in the front of the car while I had to ride in the back, but it has continued all my life. So I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of jealousy - I just hadn't had to ride in the back of the car until that point, so it didn't show up until then. (Remember, this was before mandatory seatbelts and having kids ride in the back in booster seats and such - I'm old school, lol.) So I've had it pretty much all my life.
Oddly enough, although I can't read in a car, I can embroider - so long as I am in the front seat and I can look up every once in a while to see the horizon. And when we're going to drive on a curvy road, especially in the mountains where there are elevation changes, I volunteer to drive. I can't do simulation rides or spin rides at amusement parks. I can't sit in the back of a car at all, unless it's a really short drive. And I can't be in a moving vehicle with anyone that has bathed in cologne or perfume or reeks of cigarettes. Instant nausea. Also, first-person video games are completely out for me, as well as any hand-cam or go pro video watching.
I actually think it has gotten a little better as I've gotten older, but it could also be that I'm just better at mitigating it and avoiding things that make me ill.

I learned that boats will make me sick. We took a deep sea fishing day trip. Boat leaves Galveston, goes out for 4 hours, stops for fishing for 4 hours and then 4 hours back to shore. I had never had motion sickness at that time, so it never entered my mind. While we were waiting to board the ship/boat 2 girls were taking pills and I wondered, "Will I get sick?" Sure enough, I was hanging on the rail and throwing up like crazy. I was so sick another man, also sick, gave me some pills. I had to go lie on beds they had for the people who were sick. When the boat stopped for the fishing, I was just fine. (caught some red snappers). When boat began to return to shore, I was sick again. Wrist bands: Don't leave home without them!! My DD had a very similar situation - never motion sick in her life, even on cruises or amusement park rides. But one summer she opted to go on a deep-sea fishing trip with DH and her uncle and cousin when she was about 17 or 18. It was a really hot day, the water was very calm (so it rocked the boat lazily), and the boat reeked of diesel fuel - the combination of all of those things triggered intense nausea for her and she spent the majority of the trip hung over the side of the boat retching.
