Motion Sickness Revisited
Posted by
Kenneth
With LSPR coming up, I had to get this motion sickness thing figured out. Apparently (and unsurprisingly), motion sickness is an oft-discussed problem in navigators' circles, though most just suggest Dramamine or Bonine, both of which have failed me miserably in the past. On a sailing website, I came across an over-the-counter drug called Marezine, so I ordered some from Amazon (couldn't find it locally for some reason), and asked Sean to hurl the car around with me sitting shotgun and reading a book. That didn't work so great. Ok...so now I needed prescription strength stuff. I went to my doctor and he recommended a transdermal Scopolamine patch. It goes behind my ear and infuses my brain with drugs that make my inner ear not work or something like that. We did the reading/driving test again, and it was much better. So we were counting on that to work for LSPR. SPOILER ALERT! It worked like a champ, and I didn't feel a hint of motion sickness the whole time I was reading notes during LSPR.
