  • @aileenmotz yeah i was on a cruise last week and didn't feel anything significant until i got all the way home the next day, it's now been about 5 days since disembarkment and I still feel motion as if I were still at sea.

    the odd thing is, when I first got on the boat I had only a very little bit of trouble adjusting to the motion and didn't get nauseous. it seems reasonable that one's physiology should readjust to land as quickly or more quickly seeing that this was my first ship excursion.

  • I've had this for 10 years now.. would sure like to tell you that it gets better, but it doesn't. Some days, as you know, are better than others. Today has been a rather rough day, which made me turn once again to the internet to see if there have been any advancements. It's been quite a while since I've done a search. It's sad/comforting to find that others are experiencing what you are, when it's such a misunderstood "disease". Thanks for sharing your story, and best of luck to you!

  • My husband and I took a cruise last week and I uses a scopolomine patch on the boat and felt fine. After I got off the boat I started feeling motion sickness. I am afraid I have this. What helps? would a chiropractor help?

  • I know how you feel.... I got on an amusement park ride and never stopped rocking since... (38 years ago) and no doctor could identify what I was experiencing.

  • I can feel your pain.. I got on an amusement park ride and never stopped spinning.... 38 years ago. For 35 years I had a disease that no one knew about until a friend saw it on 20/20.
