i travel at least twice a month by air, land and sea. with the bf. we've been doing it for 2 years or so. that means i should be able to handle motion sickness, right? and i do. i can manage travelling long distances without dizziness. although i have a complete medicine kit when i travel, i sometimes don't bring bonamine or dizzitab. i used to have one or two in my pouch but i wasn't able to replenish my stash last week (when we were travelling yet again)
we were about to board the boat, i saw the water looked choppy. (typhoon mina was still ravaging parts of the country at this time) but since i have gotten used to it, i wasn't too concerned. i was more focused on the fact that i was hungry. i haven't had breakfast and i told the bf i wanted to eat. but he wanted to wait until we were on the boat. i hate the food there so i was feeling grumpy. i had coffee and cake instead. about an hour into the trip, i was getting woozy.
in a few minutes, i had thrown up. we went out to get some air and i gave up all my breakfast in two minutes. in the four hours of travel, i had puked 3 times. i had nothing to give. the last heaving produced nothing but saliva. the bf doused me with liniment to make me feel better but it was useless. we were cooped up in the boat for another three hours because the coast guard sucks! i was just about to die from starvation and seasickness when they decided to let us out.
when we were on dry land (after about 8 hours of being in the water) the bf rushed to get me nourishment, a.k.a. food. but i was no longer interested. just stepping down from the vehicle to steady ground was hard. i was still really dazed. i gulped hot water fast. i was no longer interested in eating anything, but the bf forced me to eat. about an hour after we ate, i threw it all up again. the bf was kind of mad because i threw up in the car! but it's not as if i had a choice. i was really sick. i decided not to take in anything after that. no water, nothing. i had quickly purchased bonamine at the drugstore and i took another one again-without water. my body calmed down a bit after an hour of napping. when i awoke, i was rested but hungry. and my lips were really chapped, it hurt a lot.
after about 7 hours, the bf wanted to eat yet again. but i declined. i had hot chocolate and some soup while he had dinner. when we got home, i drank another cup of hot chocolate and some sticky rice (there was some in the kitchen!) then i went off to bed.
when i awoke, i was feeling much better although my stomach was still weird. i had a beef taco for lunch (which is bad, now that i think of it) i told my sis about it and she said noodles can help in rehydration. so i had about half a serving of noodles before i went to my college friend's wedding. i passed up on the reception dinner. i didn't want to upset my stomach again. i had soup instead. now my system's slowly going back to normal. thank God!
