lots of fish.
Nice trip.
But for me, who spent six hours hugging a bucket of puke. Took the transderm SCOP the night before as instructed, and no joy. Today irregular heartbeat as a thrilling aide effect of the scopalamine. If still ragged heartbeat in morning I will see my MD.
Seasick? In my Navy days I always took Dramamine on my first day or so of a cruise, save for once when I experimented to see if I wasn’t subject to seasickness. Experiment was a failure, and I went back to the Dramamine regimen.
I was told dramamine would be less than useful for me. So my MD prescribed the supposedly more potent transderm scop, and it did not help, and my heartbeat is still irregular.
These things work too … not that you’re going to try this anytime soon.

So sorry to hear about this.

I thank the good Lord that I don’t get seasick.
My heartbeat is generally irregular only when my wife walks into the room.
Well, or when Sofia Vergara walks into the room, but how often does that happen?
get better soon, old friend. Personally I don’t think I will go in the water where the waves are bigger than the boat. I just don’t like fish that much.
I feel your pain. Despite 10 years in the Navy, I still got sick as a dog the last time I went out Halibut fishing. A submarine just isn’t the same motion as a 45 foot boat in 10 foot seas. And then, they expect me to have the strength to reel up a 40 pound fish after I’ve been dry heaving for 3 hours…
Supposedly Lord Mountbatten had a good cure for seasickness.
It involved hugging a tree.
I have never see anything that really works, if you are susceptible sometimes watching the horizon and fresh air helps. But only sometimes.
I was one of the hated few that didn’t get seasick no matter how rough the seas. Then came down with a little something called subjective vertigo. Seasick on dry land! I feel your pain. Thank God I haven’t had it in 15 years or so.
I’ve been thinking about this. Would you trade your seasickness problems for my Eustachian tube issues? I’ve come terribly close to bursting eardrums on several occasions and the pain could last for a couple of days even after the pressure cleared. I also cannot dive down in water beyond a few feet without pain. But I’ve been to sea where others got sick and not me. The most pronounced was when I was 20 years old. I one of a handful not seasick out of 300 on a party boat in roiling seas (> 40 feet) off Montauk.
I rarely go to sea, but I do fly with head congestion, most recently two weeks ago as you already know. If there was a way to trade with you, I’d take it.
