Re: Questions about Ginger and Bextra

[Guest guest]

I have used the patch several times and haven't found that it makes

me sleepy and I use Dramimine as a sleeping pill so I am sensitive to

that medication. However, if it does affect you have you tried the

wrist bands? They use accupressure to supress the motion sickness

(or something like that). You can buy them in most drug stores and I

have a friend who used them on a cruise and just raved about how well

they worked. A neighbor who suffers from car sickness used them on a

road trip and said they worked wonders. You might give 'em a try- no

medications to interfer at all.

.....concerns sea sickness. I have the Rx patch but it doesn't work

well for birdwatching...it can make you sleepy..and miss the birds?

It can also make your eyes light sensitive..

No reason you can't take the cap itself. Gel = gelatin, they melt.

If this inside is OIL based, then you might not get absorption

I loved the trip to the dry tortugas. Wish I wasn't MO at the time, couldn't

tour or scuba. Fell trying to get back on the boat at low tide. Too high. I

did not get sea sick, I've been in very rough seas and the only person still

standing, however, there were quite a few people hanging off the back of the

boat so it wouldn't blow back in their face. LOL

Have a great time.
