Hello!
I figure I would ask this here since more rides cause motion sickness at Universal than over at Disney.
So, my hubby started having trouble with rides several years, after he blew out an ear drum. Ever since then he has been sensitive to rides. He can tolerate mild coasters like BTMRR at Disney but nothing that spins more than TSMM (he got very dizzy on the cat in the hate ride!). He does not get nauseous- he gets vertigo. He is not big on taking medicine, so he has never tried motion sickness pills. No... I take that back... he tried 2 bonine before going on a steam boat on Lake George and they make him lightheaded! He didn't get "sea sick", though! He doesn't want to take that again!
Will something like meclazine even help him? Or is there something else that might better help him? I think he really wants to try some rides at Universal but is nervous. He did FJ on our last trip and he down and out several hours. He doesn't want to do that again, but also doesn't want to sit on a bench the entire day! Does the inner ear issue complicate the matter?
Thanks!
