Certainly anecdotally as one of the worlds worst suffers (8 London Double
Decker Buses to date out of action!!), I find having my eyes closed helps
but not totally. Having learnt to drive helps, whether this is to with
vestibular/visual feedback or just concentration I don't know. I think in
adults in particular, there is a lot of psychological overlay - once you
have been sick every time you get into a vehicle you start feeling sick
before you even leave the house. I certainly have psychological triggers
e.g. just the slightest hint of one of my mothers perfumes makes me
nauseous, I know I can link this to feeling sick in the car as a kid!
Perhaps I am just a little strange, but certainly talking to other adult
suffers, there does seem to be a similar pattern.

Subject: Re: Cawthorne Cooksey exs
Thanks all for the replies re the above. I am now wondering if people
suffer from car sickness if they have their eyes closed? (Re the visual /
vestibular mismatch) I would presume they do ?? In that case could CC exs
be of any benefit? Also what about sea sickness whereby the planes of
movement would be more combined?
Any comments?
