When you’re prone to motion sickness, getting to and from exotic destinations can spoil any traveler’s itinerary. — via healthing_ca
I have had motion sickness for most of life, to the point that after about 30 minutes in a car I need to pull over to vomit. I am fine in planes and trains and street buses — but those big tour buses, not so much. This summer, my new boyfriend, who is a real adventurer, wants to take a long road trip and I am worried about my motion sickness. I don’t want to be a drag and ruin his time, but I also don’t want to spend the time away feeling horrible. Plus, I don’t want to miss the adventure.
It’s hard to predict the severity of motion sickness or know what makes someone prone to it. The good news is that there are options available to help relieve those awful symptoms. She also says that complementary treatments such as ginger candies and acupressure bands may be helpful, as well as medicine, the most common being scopolamine and antihistamines.
Getting a good night’s sleep, staying hydrated and eating a light, healthy snack before your trip and using music or audio books can keep your mind off the movement can help distract you. It’s also important to keep track of the triggers that set off your symptoms. These vary from person to person, but windy roads, poor visibility, being crammed in a car with other passengers without fresh air circulating, and scrolling through your phone can make you feel queasy when on the move.
