I had motion sickness for the first ~38 years of my life, and had it cured.

Posting here because I went the majority of my life without knowing that such a treatment existed.

About a year ago I flew to the University of North Dakota and spent an hour a day over 3 days sitting in a simulator that would spin faster and faster while the facilitator talked to me over the headset and kept me distracted.

Was nowhere near as bad as I'd feared, honestly maybe a 3/10 on the discomfort/nausea scale.

Ever since then, motion sickness completely gone. I used to despise boats, calling them mankind's cruelest invention. Taken many flights, reading car trips, hot humid boat rides in rough seas in southeast asia since and... nothing.

Would 100% recommend. I think you can find the program at the bottom of this page, it's $400:

Wow That’s amazing, how bad was your motion sickness before you went? This would be life changing for me, I have to take dimenhydrinate when I fly or else I’ll get nauseous to the point of vomiting.

  • Mine was not that severe. I would get mildly nauseous during normal commercial airplane turbulence, although very nauseous in small planes and the worst nausea of my life after a glider session, very seasick to the point of being debilitated, and then probably a 6 or 7 out of 10 when reading in the car for more than a few minutes.

    Definitely worth a shot IMO.
