My labyrinth sucks apparently

[ViviTheMage]

Apparently that's what makes me car sick/sea sick/hate turbulence/can't do theme parks.

I went to valley fair (theme park, similar to six flags), and went on 2, moderate roller coasters, and after the second one I was pale, and had to sit down for about 2-3 hours, in one spot, with my eyes closed, to feel somewhat ok. Sweating profusely, I couldn't walk, i'd lose my balance quickly.

I still feel very nauseous and sick today, bah.

turbulence on planes are the worst ... when we land, I am pretty much screwed, because I have to walk off and sit in the airport for an hour or two, if the turbulence is bad enough.

Anyone else get severe motion sickness like this? I wish there was a way to get rid of it, Dramamine doesn't work .. the only useful thing is actually sugar'd, lemon drops.

And here I thought it was going to be a game reference that lets you build mazes to kill intruders.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.

Hey OP - Does it get worse with age?

I do get sick somewhat easily. I can ride rollercoasters all day, but spinny rides always make me nauseous. And I tend to throw up more easily than many of my friends when drinking alcohol, despite drinking the same or less. The spins and dizziness always gets me, so I have learned my limits.

i get motion sickness, not as bad as when i was a kid, but it still kicks my butt. turbulence on a plane makes me sick in an instance. descending to land does also. i can not ride with people who swerve and tap the brakes alot. i even get a touch of it when i move or lift my head too fast.
years ago i flew from az to texas on a flight that made 3 stops before getting to austin, i was so sick at each stop the stewardesses asked if i wanted to get off the plane at the stops. when it came time to go back to az. my friend who i was visiting gave me some liquid that contained cinnamon and maybe nutmeg oil, it worked as i did not get sick on the return flight. i dont remember what the potion was but i do remember it was an Edgar Cayce remedy. nowadays i try real hard to avoid any situation that may cause motion sickness.

For about a decade, I was like you, but it slowly faded away. It started in puberty and ended in my early 20s. I still can't do severely dizzying things, but I'm okay with most activities.

For me dramamine helped tremendously. But, you have to take it properly. The pills take 30-60 minutes to take effect. For me, they basically froze whatever state I was in when the pills took effect. If I took them and stayed still for an hour, they worked well. If I took them and shortly later went on a ride, I'd be frozen in a dizzy state for the rest of the day. I couldn't even take a short car ride in that 30-60 minute period.

i swear by dramamine but it takes hours to take full effect so you can't just pop one and go crazy.

You remind me of the babe.
What babe?
The babe with the power.
What power?
The power of voodoo.
Who do?
You do.
Do what?
Remind me of the babe!

I got motion sickness from certain video games. Mostly from darker colored 1st and 3rd person type games. I can usually last about 20 minutes before I feel like I'm about to puke, at which point I have to stop and close my eyes for a few minutes, and then it goes away over the course of an hour or so. First time I ever noticed it was playing Quake 1 on N64 when it came out. I grew up playing Quake 1 on PC, and other FPS games on consoles, but there was something about Quake 1 on N64 that made me feel terribly ill within 20-30 minutes. Planes, boats, amusement park rides don't bother me. I can read or use a laptop in the car. But dimly lit 1st and 3rd person games, can't do them for long.

Sickness from video games is usually referred to as Doom Induced Motion Sickness, or 'DIMS.'

Yup, I used to be able to do 4-5 rollercoasters before I felt like death, now it's 1 and it's over ... I tried 2, bad idea. I still feel like hell today.

Dramamine did nothing to me, took it about 40~ minutes prior to flight, friggin hot sweats/nausea the entire time.


I get zero motion sickness from video games/movies.

I get sick from games all the time...HL, GTA 3/4, Q3A, Halo, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, etc. Usually play just a few minutes then I feel like I'm going to die. Dramamine helps but then I just get really sleepy (even with non-drowsy stuff).

What's weird is that I can play CS for hours without issue, unless it's some weird map with tight spaces and too many turns...that makes me sick.

Boats, airplanes, and roller coasters do the same thing, but the simpler coasters are fine. The loopy shit can make me sick, and so can the spinny shit. Sometimes car trips make me sick as well, unless I'm driving.
