Any ways to get over travel sickness?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I *think* I got travel sick during scout camps but I was more sheltered then..... isn't travel sickness down to not wanting to go somewhere idk?

no dan, it's not it just means your stomach is more sensitive to movement, might also be due to being in enclosed places for such a long time.

I tend to just go to sleep if I find myself feeling ill when travelling.

Heard the bands are really good. I don't get travel sick but I used the tablets when I was hungover and feeling really sick coming home from Oban to Glasgow for a uni trip and they worked wonders haha!

i get travel sickness all the time on buses so i avoid them and get the train even if it costs way more

[Absently]

I only ever get travel sickness if I read or I'm on my phone it's so bloody annoying especially when I'm bored I normally just drink lots of water and I feel better

Don't look at your phone/read. Always makes me instantly car sick! And maybe try those travel sickness bands.

Yeah never try and read anything or go on your phone, that makes me feel so bad.

Whenever I fly I take travel sick pills before the flight and I get drowsy ones so I can just sleep. I sometimes still feel sick after taking them but I think that's just to do with flying in general (As it's happened my my family members and they don't normally get travel sick). I feel better knowing i've taken something though. I've never actually been sick but yeah if over the counter pills don't work for you, I have no idea!

The bands actually work better than pills but you have to get them in exactly the right place or they won't work. There are instructions that come with them on where to put them on your wrist, but it's normally the width of the three middle fingers on your hand from the top crease on your wrist.

Take cool water if you can and keep hydrated all the time, but drinking too much water will just make you even more sick. Don't take anything to read or focus on too closely as I don't get travel sick but reading for too long in a car can make me feel really ill. Sam suggested taking a fan if opening the windows isn't an option which is a really good idea. And try making sure to look out of the front window as much as you can rather than the side windows; I have friends who swear this works miracles for them and I assume it's something to do with how scenery doesn't look like it's moving as much if you're looking out the front.

I usually have travel bands, they work amazingly well
