Does anyone get travel/car sickness?

I get travel sickness even now at the age of 35. It is something to do with our ears telling us we are moving, but our eyes not transmitting that information. (I saw it on "What's Good For You" on Win TV). It can be difficult, but not all of the methods for 'fixing it' seem to work either. I did not see the end result, but I am sure that ppl would be interested in it. I might go to their website and see if I can find out the story on how to prevent it in the future.

Yes, I too get motion sickness unless I'm driving and so does my husband. One thing I've found that really helps is ginger root. It's works fantastic for motion sickness and it's cheap. You can buy the capsules at most health food stores. Makes your breath smell nice too :)

I remember when I was a kid, if I read books, etc, while in a moving vehicle, I used to get nauseous. A quick glance was usually OK, but if I started actually reading, then the nausea came. I don't know if it's better now because I do most of the driving and I haven't read anything in a moving vehicle for a while. I also wear glasses, too, and I didn't when I was a kid. I do seem to remember getting a little nauseous in college when I tried to study on the bus .

No I don't which as just as well as I am an interstate truck driver ... so spend lots of time on my backside behind of the wheel of a truck. A few tips are not to eat sweet, sugary, fatty or greasy foods; take frequent short breaks and get out of the car for a little bit of a walk in the fresh air ... even a couple of minutes will help. Drink water rather than anything sticky or gassy and eat dry biscuits ... sips of water and nibbles of the biscuits. With children ... limit the amount they can have at any one time and that will help more than if they take large amounts ... that is more than likely to make them want to vomit all over the place. Barley sugar is one thing that is good, plus yawning as it will "pop" the ears. It is generally caused by the motion of the vehicle as well as the person can have an inner ear imbalance ... they might not even know they have it till something like this happens. Stopping every hour or so is good anyway ... makes you safer on the roads and less inclined to do anything rash .... those few minutes are all that are needed to refresh you a little and be able to safely continue the trip. As a truckie we have to have half an hour break after 5 hours ... as you would realise we are often on a tight schedule anyway. But I take a break every couple of hours ... even just getting out and taking a walk helps and makes me safer to drive on the roads. Most truckies these days will do this sort of thing ... just don't admit it to many people but we know that driving over the time limit will cost us dearly in money, time and points on our licences.

It used to happen to me quite a lot but I find now that I can travel on very long journeys without any bother. I do of course get very stiff and I often have to stop and have a walk around and I couldn't read a book in the car or I would really feel nauseaus.

When I was a child I use to have motion sicknesses and suffer a lot. I would vomit in cars and boats, I had this experience wherein I vomitted inside a Honda City car before and my vomit was all over the carpetted floor. I was such an embarassment before, now I dont suffer from motion sickness.

I do get this way on long road trips myself. I was feeling sick at times during my trip to Massachusetts last summer to and from there. The hills get me more than anything or trying to read or watch a movie on my dvd player would get me sick too. I even get sick watching or playing some video games.

I've gotten motion sickness really easy for as long as I can remember. Being a passenger in the back seat of a car driving on curvy roads gets me real sick but driving doesn't bother me. I also get real woozy on the sea and always have to take some type of motion sickness medication. Even some video games and films will make me feel ill...it's horrible.

Miss 11 gets car sick, if we have a distance to go we try to start the trip early, missing breakfast & get as far as we can before we have to stop to eat. Even now before we leave the house miss 11 grabs the bucket. When we are all ready with bucket she is never sick. When we forget the bucket, she tends to get sick... *sigh* lol

What a horrible thing this is! I also face a similar problem. Plug your ears with cottonwool, and pop in a tablet[anti-vomit] half an hour before you travel.I don't know about the children[check with your family doctor] but adults can happily have the tablet.

yeah, this motion sickness is really something to deal with. a big problem for me. i get dizzy whichever mode of travel i take. someone told me to make sure that i have not eaten the hour before i embark on a travel but, it made it worse for me. now, i bring sorts of liniments and cold rub during travel, some medicines to counter motion sickness, water and food. this has made travels much, much more manageable for me. it is even better if i can fall asleep, that is, if there is someone travelling with me.

I don't get motion sickness in cars. I tend to just nap when on long journeys. HOWEVER I do get really ill if on a boat in choppy water that is just sitting there. I have no problem while the boat is moving, but when it anchors...look out. I actually have to jump into the water to avoid getting sick. And I really don't like being in the middle of the ocean, with who knows what either.

yes I do! some taxi drivers drive really erratically. makes me feel like throwing up! For coaches, some of the larger more stable ones are ok. I once rode in a coach for 5 hours and it was a breeze cos each seat had it's own personal entertainment system and i could watch korean dramas(which are really addictive). Frequent stops help quell the nausea. also there are some anti-motion sickness pills which i also take when i take ferry rides. 45 mins on the open seas can be quite hairy!
