Sea Sick info needed

Bought some new stuff at the Annapolis boat show last year called motion ease. My wife, who will get sick in a heartbeat, was skeptical but for $12.00 why not try? It works like a charm. Essentailly it is a liquid applied behind the ears before and during sailing and it deadens the nerve associated with motion sickness. She smells like peppermint candy but we now cruise without worry and without sleepiness. In really bad weather she will also take a small dose of Phenegran which is a post anesthesia nausia medication. It is poweful stuff so usually 1/8 to 1/4 tablet does the job. It does cause drowsiness even in small doses but that beats the alternative. Your doctor probably would not object to issueing an RX. Zantac also helps with the anxiety sometimes associated with our sport.
