All of the above.I cant even sleep in a camper trailer, the slightest movement sends me reeling. It's an awful thing to have. I think dramamine helps the best. I have also tried ginger tea and ginger tablets, they help some, but dramamine works best for me, it's also a good sleep aid.

No. I've gotten car sick once in my life, when I had a cold and we were driving to Hana in Maui. I had some motion sickness once on a carnival ride. That's about it.

Car, sometimes. Never on a plane or a ferry.

Back when I was younger I couldn't read in a vehicle and sometimes got feeling a little fuzzy around the edges when riding in the back of the car... I could ride roller coasters and fly and even go on boats. Now in the last few years I can no longer even do these. I can't even ride in those rides that the chair moves while you look at a screen. I get deathly sick if I ride one of those. I have tried to ask doctors about this but they pretty much ignore it by saying well don't ride them.....

Not at all. I've heard that ginger -- especially ginger caps -- are good for any kind of motion sickness.

Car sickness only if I read..then I feel like crap. But generally, no. I don't know if I get air sickness because I've never flown..but we shall find out soon enough, eh?

Yes, though it happens very rarely now. As a kid I used to get car sick, but that faded over time. I think not riding in the backseat helps that a lot. I don't usually get sick on boats, but there was this infamous whale watch I went on with rough seas, where 1/3 the people on the boat puked and I felt pretty nauseous. I've never gotten nauseous or sick on a commercial airline, but I do get a bit queasy flying in small planes.

As a kid, they used to give me Dramamine, which seemed to work. Though, I think it makes you drowsy. As an adult, I've tried pressing that acupressure spot on my wrist. If it it worked, it didn't work that great.

I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and got sick when someone lit a cigar in the car on the drive from Sequim back to Walla Walla. I was with my cousin and one of his friends instead of the bus.

That was the last and only time and , believe me, it wasn't the motion. He stopped the car in time.

I tried these little wrist bands that put pressure on both wrists in the pressure point. Didn't work.

Not since I was a kid. When I was under ten, we used to go on these summer camping trips. My brother and I would get to go to the local comic shop and buy big stacks of comic books for the trip. Reading comics on long car trips would tend to make me a bit nauseous after a while sometimes.

Another time we were on my uncle's boat and it broke down. We spent quite a while adrift while repairs were made. With the engine hatch open, the smell of diesel fuel was wafting about and I was hungry. That was kind of nauseating too.

No I'm lucky I don't because I just love travel by air boat or car!  * smile *

I used to get sick easily as a kid, but I grew out of that. Sometimes I'll get a bit car sick if I read (while someone else drives, of course...)

I have it badly. I have tried everything natural. Nothing will work, so I have gone back to Dramimine, the none drousy type works great.

When I went on my dad's trawler for the first time I was really seasick as it was so choppy. You get over it.

I've had car sickness.

I've also suffered from pretty severe land sickness after a week on a houseboat.
