Do you experience motion sickness, such as on various forms of transport?
 
Um - there should be multiple options: Yes - ALL, plus: Yes - standing on the dock at Harties on a windless day.
 
Threw up once while snorkeling with seals in Hout Bay, but only once the fog/mist moved in and I lost my frame of reference while sitting in the rubber duck.

Sitting backwards, reading, watching something in the car immediately triggers nausea.
 
Not the Roller coasters but rather the stupid spinning flat rides. Like the break dancers or sea shells.

And that one time we took too many beers out on a sail boat in choppy seas by mosselbay.
 
Flying in turbulence puts my imagination into high gear, otherwise just occasionally in cars as a passenger.

Wouldn't like to try a long boat cruise though
 
Just thinking about VR makes me woozy.

Never had it on a plane, but had it in a chopper before while looking for a landing spot in the bush.

Not sure if I get it from a boat as I always take the pills.

Car only if I read my cellphone.
 
Never experianced it until I went to a fair and the one ride was nausiating.

Did extreeme sports in my younger days with no issues but that one ride was 🤢🤮🤢

Think it might be when I'm not in control.
 
Yes, yes and yes!!!

Quite debilitating actually.

I've done advanced driving courses at Kyalami. Nightmare cause 70% of the time you're a passenger while someone else drives... at high speed... spent most of the time watching from the side of the track.

Looping star, Gold Reef City, when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old. Went with friends, totally f ucked me up. Went to watch a 3d movie straight after, it was part of the Gold Reef city experience at the time. Chucked chunders!!

Minecraft, Grand turismo no more than an hour before I feel sick.

Audi RS4 launch, Kyalami, again as a passenger while a pro driver took us around the track. F ucked me up...

So many examples...

When I fly it's Valoid an hour before and I'm 100s....

As a passenger in a motor vehicle I can't look at my phone or read for longer than 3 minutes without getting motion sickness, unless long distance, straight road...

Can't get blind drunk either. Try sleep with a spinning head, chuck chunders. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous...

So Ja....
 
How about the option for I would get motion sickness if it wasn't for Medazine?

This works the best from all I've tried, and it really is miraculous. Please, for anyone in your life with motion sickness, buy them this (it's over the counter) and they will thank you forever:

I needed this advice about 50 years ago... although Valoid has served me well...
 
I said never as is generally the case but I know stress and exertion can play a part as I've had a mild touch after scrambling for life at sea on capsized kayaks. :laugh:
 
Had it once on first day I started working on a dredger. The morning brekkie sorted me out and was fine after that.
 
Had it bad on a boat in CT once upon a time, but since then, i have been on a few boats and havent experienced it as bad. I try to sit outside, and look out far into the distance.

If i am not driving and reading my phone in the car, i start to feel sick - but not to the point where i vomit. It makes me feel bad, and i get a headache. So uber rides in particlar are tough for me. The smell of the airfreshner in most Ubers also give me a headache and make me feel ill.

Yeah dude I once tried Sturgeron, which is also highly recommended, and it did NOTHING for me. I was so sick that whole trip and swore to never repeat that mistake. I then found Avomine, which has since been discontinued ... and Medazine has now served me well ever since.
