    I have a problem with cars and a smooth suspension, it makes me more prone to get s*ck. Anyways, I rode in my grandfathers car, while my mother was driving, because her car was not working at the time. I sucked it up and rode to school.


    It was okay, but then I noticed my stomach felt like it was doing little cartwheels and I looked over to my mom and said, "we should pull over". It got worse. Nothing painful, actually kind of weird. And so I just dry heaved about4 times, not actual vomit. I was so hungry around lunch time, I ate a huge italian sub [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img].


    Laughing in between. I know call me weird lol, but I i just told myself outloud, "face your fear" and I just let my body do what it had to do. And it wasn't so bad. In fact, it felt like an epiphany had occured. I realized I can get through it, when its over, its over. Yes its uncomfortable, gross but it happens.


    I didn't fight, because I realize, if I did, it made it worse.


    So there goes my little motion sickness exprience.


    I now know if I ever ride in a car or something like that, I'll get some dramine.





    Good luck everyone and keep well

    hey roxy, what do you mean by smooth suspension? is that when you go over bumps and the card just kinda floats like a roller coaster instead of getting bumpy, so you kinda bounce? cause if that's the case I totally get nervous in a car like that!

    ^ Yes, I think that's what was meant.

    At least that's what I percieve from it.

    I hated riding in that car...*shudders* so many bounces and elevator drops.

    It's great to hear that, Theresa!


    If I went through that, I probably wouldn't be able to eat again until about dinner time.
