Will I be affected if I suffer from motion sickness?

What if I am afraid of motion sickness?

faq
This has become less of a problem over the last several years as cruise ships are now equipped with stabilizers to minimize the roll of the ship. Once the ship is underway, these "wings" swing out into place and allow the ship to move more smoothly through the ocean. The waters of the Caribbean are comparatively shallow and generally do not get very rough. If you normally do not get motion sickness in a car or airplane, chances are you won't have problems on a cruise ship.

If you have balance problems, or motion problems, balance or gait, Dr. Burdenko has revolutionized water and land therapy. I credit him for my ability to ride a bike again, to dance, to stand on one foot, and to walk normally rather than like a drunken sailor. I used to stagger and fall down and then I couldn't get up. Now I ride my bike and do hikes.

Although Chamonix is not an especially high resort (~1000-1200m) the skiing reaches up to 3842m (Aiguille du Midi).

I suffer from morning sickness. Is it OK to brush after vomiting?

Fresh Breath
If you experience morning sickness don't brush immediately afterwards, to 'freshen up', as this can damage your teeth. Vomit contains stomach or gastric acid, which erodes the enamel, thereby weakening the teeth. Rather rinse your mouth with water, or ideally with an alcohol-free mouthwash. Dentyl pH has the same pH as saliva, and also contains fluoride, which strengthens the teeth.

How can I avoid motion sickness?

Frequently Asked Questions about Vomiting
The best way is to plan ahead and take medicine. The most effective is the scopolamine patch, which is worn behind the ear and lasts for days. Most sufferers take Dramamine (or generic equivalent). A more advanced pill is meclezine, sold under the brand names Bonine and Dramamine II. This drug has the advantage of lasting longer than Dramamine and also causing much less drowsiness.
