Any Gaffers have travel sickness?

Got a 5 hour train journey in a few days and don't know how I'm going to power through it. I can just barely do 1 hour train journeys before I start feeling hot, flushed and the nausea creeping in.

Do Scopolamine patches work?

Have you tried these wrist bands? Don't know if they work. Someone recommended them to me.

Just 2 minutes in a car/bus is enough for me to twist myself in nausea. I always had to depend on travel sickness pills. Though, I don't get sick from trains since they don't move the same way cars and buses do.

Tried these wristbands for a very long boat ride (from Sweden to Poland) and I didn't get sick at all. Not sure if they would be as effective in cars/buses though.. cars are the worst for me. I find sleeping and eating to help a lot.

Yes, they work very well...prescription only in US

Badly. I always have to drive. Otherwise I'm sick in the car after five minutes.
Can't go backwards on a train or anything.

I just say "You will not be sick" over and over in my head and after about 2 minutes it goes.

I used to throw up all the time during plane trips. Now I just take a gravol and can endure a 20-hr flight (it's still mindnumbingly long, though). Wonder-drug!

I feel sea sick when travelling a rough seas on a ship.

If I tried to read a newspaper/book/phone in a moving vehicle, I get sick. It was worse when I was a kid. I had to endure every car ride because they always made me feel sick all the time. I'm glad I'm over that.

Anyway, I deal with it nowadays by just looking out the window.

I only feel sick (instantly) if I ride a slow boat or wear the oculus rift.
