zauberflote Posted January 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2020 It's called something else outside US. A processing disorder that causes one to sense, wrongly, that things or oneself are moving, causing one to compensate-- wrongly, of course! Dx 2013-14. I take no treatment for it-- my biggest trigger is weather, followed closely by quantity/quality of sleep/stress, and fluorescent lighting. I seem to have learned to deal with it while driving, although I haven't driven in a tunnel in 5 years....but you should see me in exercise class! I've only cruised twice before, eons ago, pre-dx, both sea rather than ocean cruises. Only time I was seasick, 75% of the passengers were as well. Since dx, my carsickness has not changed for the worse. Long ago, and well pre-dx, I was taken on a fairly small sailboat. I spent the entire afternoon miserably out at the very bow-most spot I could grab, breathing deeply through my nose. I stick to my kayak now, and swells in the bay have the same (no worse) effect than they did pre-dx. So my question to fellow "sufferers" is, how do you think I may fare on a TA cruise? How do *you* cope? I've convinced myself to find a low-lying midships stateroom, which I had anyway on my two previous (pre-dx) cruises. But the possibility of the very expensive privilege of ruinous seasickness, with or without remedies, scares me!

lenquixote66 Posted January 19, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I do not do TA cruises but I have the same medical problem.In addition I suffer from PTV,post traumatic vertigo. I always try to get a low deck and mid ship.Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zauberflote Posted January 19, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Lenquixote, thank you! Your PTV sounds even worse :-/I'm glad to know you do cruise anyway. This TA will either be an exercise in "oh yes you can!!", or.... whatever the opposite is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
