Travel Sickness Remedies
For as long as i can remember, i've always been travel sick, cars, buses, coaches, boats etc (but not on trains)
when i was a child my mum used to get some tablets off the doctor for me called 'avomine' and they used to work for me i went to Darwen on the bus the other day and i felt really sick by the time i got there, my sister said i went that white she thought i was going to pass out, now i dont get sick everytime i go on a bus, just sometimes...anyway, we went into Boots in Darwen and i asked if they had anything for travel sickness, the nice lady behind the counter gave me something called 'travel calm'....so i read the leaflet and took one....OH MY GOD...within 10 minutes i felt like i was stoned, this lasted for about 3 hours, my mouth went dry and my eyes went funny, but i didnt feel ill on the bus journey home, i'm not sure which effect i liked the most, the sickness or the stoned feeling anyway, i wont be taking them again can anyone please tell me if there is anything out there that can prevent my travel sickness? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE :D |

Ginger is meant to be very good, nibble ginger biscuits(i'd have said nuts but you know what Neil is liek :D )
Some people swear by magnets on wrist bands ( for travel and morning sickness) It usually also helps to focus on the horizon outside the vehicle i.e.on something known to be 'static' so your brain can work out what motion is actually being applied to your body. If all you can see is the already moving vehicle your brain gets confused as your eyes tell you you aren't moving but your balance says you are. |
Re: Travel Sickness Remedies
thats the thing Ian, i HAVE TO look infront whenever i travel, cant be doing with people yapping on in my ear, i have to concentrate, can't read or send texts on the bus either, Reece knows that if he sits behind me on the bus not to talk to me, bless him
i'll get some of those wrist thingies, and stock up on ginger biscuits |

Re: Travel Sickness Remedies
You can still get Avomine, just ask in a pharmacy and they will order it in for you, it's not usual stock but still available.

Its mostly caused by looking out of the window at your side, the images are flashing past to fast for your brain to register them properly. I had it as a kid, told to sit at the front and look straight ahead, sickness gone. I also had the same sitution fishing off a boat from Fleetwood, when I looked down to bait my hooks, felt queasy, looked at the horizon and it went away. Retlaw. |
Re: Travel Sickness Remedies
The most effective tablets I've tried are called 'JoyRides', they don't make you feel drowsy & can be taken either before the journey or if & when you start to feel queasy.
