Need Help Please Seasickness

[franco802]

I haven't gone to the eye doctor in 20 years, but I have taken eye exams recently and I see fine. But going to the eye doctor is on my list of things to do very soon. I use to wear reading glasses when I was 13, but I haven't worn them in years as I get a headache when I try to use them.

If you're in need of a optical prescription adjustment or your first set of spectacles, your seasickness could be eyeball related. My sister went through this for years; couldn't ride in a car on a windy road without tossing up, never made it more than a mile a boat. New glasses corrected everything. Just a thought and something to consider before going through a long list of remedy options. Good luck; nothing's worse than being impaired on the water. For the benefit of others, please let us know what ended up working for you.

Scopace pills = Miracle cure

Don't mess with the patches. They work for some, but you can't control the dosage.

We've been round and round with this for my wife.

Last summer we were in 10' Alaskan seas and I got green and she was reading a book.

The shit really works. You can also take it after you feel sick.

That is simply your opinion, not my experience, nor anyone in my family's experience. Scopace pills do not work at all for us.
A Bonine and a ginger chew work miracles for me, even if already sick.

Tuna hearts are the best sir, but they have to be fresh and still pumping to work.

Funny story about the wife reading a book while you where thinking about everything esle. I feel your pain.

I turned green and shot everything i had overboard every Albacore trip. Thank god we got on fish and once you start pulling on fish it helps a lot.
Before my first long range trip I got the patchs , I figured 5 days of throwing up till we got a jig strike might get old.
Now I wear the patch and don't even think about it. Calm days to vitory at sea nothing bothers me. It's a miracle for me , I was getting to the point where I was thinking twice about going out.

Ginger Trips, chews (gum). Have always helped me keep from ing. Whenever I start feeling it (after being in the gallet too long) I go outside and chew one.
My son was seasick last week when we were fishing off Mazatlan. He had taken a Dramamine a couple hours before our trip. After He took it, napped for an hour and never got sick again.

[franco802]

Yeah, lot's of people still mention the dramamine and Bonine. But those two still make me very very drowsey and it takes me two days to recover from them. I feel very tired and lazy for two days after taking a Bonine or Dramamine. The Dramamine is worse for me. Also, they didn't do squat as far as keeping me from getting seasick.

I'm going to the doctor day after tomorrow, I will ask him about the Scopace for sure. Mabe he will even recommend something different, who knows.

If i do get prescribed something, i am heading to the Coronado Islands first thing !!!

I drink as much beer as I can and never get sick. This is a proven method. If you do vomit, just snort some beer to clear the vomit from your nasal passages, then drink another Budweiser.... Coors doesn't work. This is no bullshit, drink copious amounts of Budweiser and you'll be fine. Being the last one to go to bed and the first one up helps too.

Highly doubt this will do anything except fug me up tremendously. I haven't had a beer in 15 years. I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol and don't drink coffee. If i had one beer I would probably be wasted.
