Motion sickness - any cures?

[juliebro]

Can anyone help?

My DS and I LOVE all the coasters in Disney and Universal. Duelling Dragons, the Hulk etc. We can't get enough. BUT DH suffers from motion sickness (ever since we did aerobatics - not aerobics!- in a small open-top bi-plane for charity some years ago). He would love to be able to join us on all the rides, but daren't risk feeling ill for hours afterwards.

Anyone know of any suggestions for cures?

Thanks

Julie

Hi Julie,

I suffer from motion sickness also. I have tried many things: seabands, dramamine, prescription medications. The thing that works best for me is Bonine (over-the-counter medication). I believe it is found in most drug stores in the US. Good luck, i know how it feels to want to ride but not be able to due to motion sickness.

I think a ot of people take anti sickness tablets when going around the parks if they suffer from motion sickness. I am planning to take some around the parks myself, as I used to suffer badly from travel / motion sickness, and whilst I don't really get it anymore anymore, I would rather be on the safe side.

A bit further down this page there is a thread called "landing sickness" where there is alot of useful information regarding various cures for motion types sickness.

Hope that helps you and your husband

Thanks everyone. Got some useful tips - and also from the other thread on landing sickness.

I'll make sure he gives them a try.

So excited - just booked flights this morning for Easter!

Hi Juliebro,

DW suffers from terrible motion/travel sickness, we have just returned from the `parks` and she took 2 Stugeron travel sickness tables every morning before leaving and she felt fine, she even rode Mission Space!!!!

I think she gets them from Boots but I am sure any chemist would sell them. They do not make her tired like some other makes.

Hope this helps.
