I'm sea sick :(

“Really,

I am getting sea sick every morning on the ferry. by the time I get to work, I'm ready to *BARF*
I love the water and I love taking the
ferry. It's a great way to start the day. But I need something that is going to settle my tummy. I can't take anything that will make me sleepy. Is there anything natural(no not POT) that will do the trick?

ps, remeber that i have that little liver thing so i have to be very careful what I take.”

“You don't have any ear problems that maybe you aren't aware of do you? Any extra pressure or something? Do you always get sea sick? Inner ear problems can make you sea sick.

The only advice I can give you is focus on the horizon constantly. =(”

“sass is right.

Have u tryed "dramamine" I dont know what it does for livers, but its suposed to not let u get sea sick.”

“Yea, but it also makes u sleepy, tea”

“sass, I do have major ear probs...

never thought of that. its funny because I don't feel it until we are almost docked. I swear one day, im going to ralph on poor treebead...”

“Have you tried a search on the web?”

“Talk to your doctor and see if you can handle a scopolamine patch.

Do be aware that scopolamine is "truth serum", so you may lose your ability to lie.

lol...

Not kidding about the scop though, go to your doc and see if you can get it. I don't know if it causes drowsiness or not. You might try half a tab of Dramamine first though, just enough to calm your tummy without making you sleepy.”

“Poor maple! I have a little brother who was born with parts all mixed up sinus and ear and eye wise. That kid got airsick, carsick and seasick all the time. Dramamine always knocked him out too. He tried one of those pressure bracelets and that seemed to work for flying, believe it or not. But, he had so many surgeries that's it's also possible that something was different in him and it wasn't the bracelet. I don't think they're too expensive though, might be worth a try...”

“thanks for the info. i never felt like this before. I can go kayaking for hours on end. but not a 20 min ferry ride :(”

“I say go ahead and Ralph! Get it outta yer system....:)”

“Have you tried using Sea Bands? I know a lot of scuba divers going to a dive site on a boat swore by them.”

“Have you been riding the ferry for long? Do you get as sick later in the day on the way home?

If so and this has just started have you seen your ob/gyn lately?”

“Oh no! Not another seedling!”

“....torque a bowl....that usually alleviates all matters of motion.”

“LOL thats what i said last night. it feels just like that.


~THUD~ tree fell of his chair

been taking the ferry for 1 week. Monday thats when I felt it. the ride home last night and then taking the train and bus....UGH.....”

“Damn! You can get Pregos by riding the Ferry? No wonder there's so many people in NYC! DUH!”

“That must be some Ferry ride.”

“I don't think taking pills or using a patch with dramamine or scopolamine would be advisable for a 20 minute ferry ride (and your liver problems). Hmmm, gotta try and tough it out and perhaps your body will get used too it.

OR take 2 bong-hits before you leave the house in the morning!!!
(j/k!)”

“Gives a whole new meaning to that "It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean" thing...”

“you guys are funny!”

“The wake and bake works for some....”

“

"I can go kayaking for hours on end. but not a 20 min ferry." mapleleaf

There's your answer. Forget the ferry. It may take you a little longer, but use your inflatable. LOL.”

“and dodge the barges? heck no. they will drown me...”

“Hey, nobody said it was the PERFECT solution to your problem...”

“...why are you just kidding...that's serious advice...2 bong hits...and poof...that's all ya need i'm tellin ya”

“you would make a good doctor strat, take two bong hits and call me in the morning....”

“Put some lime in a coconut and drink them both together.”

“is there any herb or tea that maybe i can drink before i get on the ferry?
I took a bonnine and still feel barfy!”

“Gee, I think there have been plenty of suggestions to use a particular "herb" already...”

“Do they serve beer on the boat in the morning?

Twenty minute ride?

You should be able to knock back a "Forty" of "A.M. Ale" by the time you reach Manhattan.

Hey, you're gonna blow lunch anyway!”

“You sure it's not morning sickness???”

“I found out the hard way once. Don't drink a 12 pack on the way out fishing in the ocean. A person tends to chum then.”

“Chum is a good word for that!

Shoutin' at yer shoes!”

“no not morning sickness. if it is im sueing the doctor i told him to double knot them! its now 1:00pm and im still sooo sick...”

“If you're still sick after a morning ferry boat ride, it's not sea-sickness. Sea-sickness will subside quickly after you get off the boat.”

“Yup! That doctor may have double-knotted the wrong tube! Are you peeing OK these days...”

“Sounds like a middle ear infection. Antibiotics for you!”

“It's that budweiser you get at the snack bar!

If you are drinking it, stop.

If you aren't drinking it, start.

You weren't seasick on Saturday night. Just drunk.”

“I'm genetically superior so I've never had the problem but those patches you wear behind your ear work pretty well for some people.

Say hello to Earl for me.”

“LOL you nutz....


Burp...excuse me”

“Maple, I believe Ginger is supposed to work similar to dramamine.”

“How is she supposed to help?

”

“LOL Bitpusher”

“Ginger burns more coming up than going down.”

“im never going on a boat ever again..


blugh..”

“Take the bus”

“hmmm neck sore last week. now sea sick in the middle of the day..

hypocondriac?

NO”

“2nd vote for ginger.
My sister nibbled on it for morning sickness.”

“is that like a root looking thing?
or can i put it in tea im the morning?”

“I'm not sure if it would help, but it can't hurt.

We took a small plane ride in the desert southwest shortly after a thunderstorm. My wife got sick as did others on other planes in our group. The bus driver who met us at the air strip told them to eat several lemon slices. Within a half hour, even the greenest faces looked healthy again.”
