Motion sickness - What would be best for me to do during the bus trip?

In the best of circumstances being able to sit as far up as possible with the ability to see out the front window is best. My daughter has that problem and it tends to hit the more curves. Don't look out the side windows, makes it worse. If you are against taking anti-nausea meds then try chewing spearmint gum or sucking on mints.

One of my relatives gets car sick too. It's hard to deal with, isn't it?! For a bus, don't sit in a window seat, as the scenery flying by can set it off. Better to look off into the distance, or horizon, than too close. Also, do NOT sit in the back of the bus, or over the wheels. There is a lot more motion there, and there is less bumping and vibration sitting in the middle or up towards the front more. If you sit in the front, make sure it's not right up front, where you're looking out the front windshield. Some people read, but some find that reading makes it worse. For my one grandson we have a mini movie viewer for him to watch, if he looks out the windows at all he gets car sick right away. I think the movie keeps his mind off it too, while also keeping his eyes more focused to something close. If you knit or crochet, that might take your mind off of it. I have one friend that gets real car sick. She takes ginger capsules and swears by them; she won't travel in even a car without taking them ahead of time. I think she gets them at a health food store. If you need to have a pop or something to drink while traveling, choose gingerale, which helps settle the stomache. Also, I believe that you can get dramamine over the counter, so ask your pharmacist what would work best. Keep a plastic lined midsized grocery sack should you get sick en-route and not be able to make it to the back of the bus where the bathroom is (if it even has one). Good luck on your trip! Geez, 8 hours is a long time on a bus!

For long journeys,I always kept a packet with me as vomitting is confirm for meIn these long journeys I used to vomit always so for avoiding those and for feeling better I always took the window seat which gave me some comfort than before.I feel much better sitting on the window seat rather than any other seat.

I have heard that "Dramamine" works really good. Its a motion sickness pill. I never heard of anyone getting sleepy taking them. I hope you don't get sick and get to enjoy the bus trip.

Three ways to prevent motion sickness 1. Carsick in the car were one hour before, take injury rheumatoid Rub a cord affixed to the liver (called Shenque Point). If more than one day ride the next day, the other for one. Can be effective in preventing motion sickness. 2. On the bus before the belt tighten to prevent excessive internal organs in the body and swim to help prevent motion sickness disease occurrence. 3. Mouth with ginger. Love motion sickness, should, carry-loaded block of fresh ginger, in the front of the car and delicious with fresh ginger 2, so that the phenomenon can greatly reduce motion sickness.

Usually, I try to sleep during a bus trip only if I feel sick. Try not to think about getting sick when riding, thinking of it makes it feel worse. Divert your thoughts to other exciting matters instead of worrying that you will just get sick. Try not to ride on the very backseat of the car. The road may get bumpy, omtimes it may trigger your stomach's movement leading to puking.
