Secrets to avoid seasickness?

[johnny]

Aside from the normal medications, are there any other tricks/secrets to
avoid seasickness when your cruise encounters high seas? johnny

[Howard Garland]

Definitely Johnny. Go out on deck and actually look at the horizon.
Although this may sound bizarre, it works.

Although I don't suffer to much from it I've found that if you constantly
eat small amounts of food & stay away from liquids (including soup) it
helps. Even on nights when my stomach feels queasy, after I eat that first
diner roll I feel much better. I've heard that eating apples & the saltine
crackers they hand out helps also but I would rather have solid food in
small quantities. Of course if your really seasick you wont want to eat
anything & the best you can do is get some fresh air.

RAY ----- I am surprised at your answer. I am a season cruising sailor
=== my husband and I have cruised 30 yrs in New England and for 9 yrs in
the Caribbean on our own sloop and I am subject to seasickness -- but I
LOVE cruising. The astronauts get motion sick.

Take ginger capsules, drink ginger ale or eat anything that has ginger
in it.

Along that thought, get a bag of candied ginger. My sister gets motion
sick just getting up a ladder, and she swears by it!

car sick at all!)

That's been my secret, Annie. Throw it in the suitcase and it's there if I
need it.

Also helps if you go a little (you should pardon the expression) overboard
at dinner. : )

Lad... There ain't a lot of secrets.

That's why the make the normal medications.

One Bonine tablet a day.

Horse hockey, Pablo.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If you can "think" yourself
out of being motion sick, then you do not have a real problem with motion
sickness. Be glad that you don't, but myself and many others do, and it is
not a psychological issue for us.

Sorry if I sound irritated, but your comment is most uninformed.

Take the ginger capsules starting a couple of weeks before you go. They
have less side effects than over the counter medications.

That reminds me of an old joke.

MAN 1: How's your brother?
MAN 2: He's very sick.
MAN 1: He's not sick. He only thinks he's sick.

One week later

MAN 1: How's your brother now?
MAN 2: He's much worse. Now he thinks he's dead.

On a return trip from Southampton to NY on the SS America in October
1950 I was terribly seasick..
Advice I was given by a waiter. Do not stay in your cabin, Get up on
deck.Eat Apples and saltines.
Whoever thinks being seasick is all in the head take my word it is not
true

SUNNY<.........has never experienced being seasick again

Hahaha! Another old one:

Seen on the gravestone of a hypochondriac: "I told you I was sick"

And while I'm at it, a Woody Allen classic:

"Why the long face?"

"I'm worried about my sister. She thinks she's a chicken. All day
long she runs around, makes clucking sounds and flaps her arms."

"How awful! Have you sent her to see a psychiatrist?"

"No, we need the eggs."

I'll add, to the good suggestion so far (ginger, get outside on deck
to watch the horizon, and Bonine), that acid-reduction medication
(Zantac, Pepcid, Tagament) is a big help for minor symptoms. The
worst I ever get is a sour stomach, and this knocks it right out.
