Oh you poor thing! Motion sickness is just a miserable condition. I'm glad that ginger worked for you and I thank you for sharing!

Keep your head up. Reading or even keeping your head down over a tray table during a bumpy flight can trigger nausea.

My husband says he can get sick on a damp lawn. We love to scuba dive, so we have discovered a few tips over time. Eating lightly before the dive is a good idea. Skip high-fat or acidic foods. Orange juice is not recommended. Fresh air helps, as does facing in the direction you are moving. Avoid stimuli like strong odors. Scopolamine patches (from his doctor) are the best thing he has ever tried. In the Drake passage he was on, he tried using the scopolamine, sea band wrist pressure, and ginger. He still threw up. Laying down and closing his eyes seems to help. Avoid reading, or anything else that needs your concentration. Trying to do embroidery is the worst, it even gets to me (and I don't get motion sickness). Dramamine and Bonine (which works better than Dramamine) make most people quite sleepy. The Scopolomine makes your throat dry. Also, try to come off of it slowly, or you might be in for a crashing headache. My husband used to remove the patch and wash his neck, and within 24 hours he was really suffering. Now, he just leaves it on longer than the 3 days (as directed). Sometimes he leaves it on for 5 or 6 days, and the dosage trails off with no problems.

This is more of a travel tip, but... We always carry a small bucket with us in the car incase our motion sickness remidies don't work. It's quicker and safer than trying to stop quickly on a busy freeway.

Anything with ginger works. Try sipping ginger ale before and during the trip. Add powdered ginger to your favorite drink!

These really work! You can find them in some magazines for sale, but I made mine. Sew a round button on material so the button acts like a pressure point and strap on your wrist so the button is pushing on the inside of your wrist. Fasten with velcro.

In the back seat of a car or in a rocking boat I try to keep my eyes closed. It isn't fun, but neither is getting sick.
