Acute Motion Sickness

Tweet

Hey guys! The title says it all, I suffer from what I believe to be actue motion sickness, and it really does effect my life. I'm looking for some help and tips, does anyone else suffer from this? And is there anything I can take on a daily basis (like multivitamins) to keep it from coming on? I'll share just a few examples of how it effects me... 1) I work in an office and do most of the admin work. One of my duties is working on the mailers. So when I stuff and seal the envelopes, I run my hands on the back of them to make sure they are good and sealed. Just looking at my hands while doing this makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. So if I have a lot of mailers going out at one time I have to take breaks, so it takes me longer to get that task done than it should. 2) Another thing at work. If I'm given the task of typing something up (copying it from paper to computer) I get the same symptoms from #1 when I have to look back and forth between my computer to a piece of paper (or really just looking back and forth between my computer and anything else). I get sick very very soon into the task and have to take a lot of breaks and only do a little bit at a time. It took me a week to copy a 5 - 6 page paper. 3) One of the dogs from the rescue I co-direct got lost after being adopted. He got lost in the worst type of area ever. All the homes had very large lots, and all the lots were covered in brush and trees, very hard to see through! I volunteered to go out and help look for him. I had to stop after only an hour because the process of looking back and forth between the sides of the road was making me very very sick. There were a couple times I thought I might have really thrown up in my car. And my headache was really really bothersome. I'd say while there was a little bit of pain, it was mostly like a pressure ache. I felt bad but I couldn't continue. (Thankfully he was found days later). 4) Sometimes just having the sun on me while I'm driving makes me sick. Sometimes just driving makes me sick! The level of my motion sickness has definitely gotten worse with age. When I was younger I ONLY got it if I was in the back seat of a car. Then when I got a little older I would still get sick if I was in the passenger seat (having a window open would help). NOW you see what it's grown into. What can I do??? Thank you in advance for any help!
