I'm chuckling. Going to the storem I have chronic vestibular and work every day. It's terrifying

[@gracepopham1722]

I have it 24/7 and on the 5th months (vestibular Migraine no headache but experience burst of scattered dull pain on areas of my head). In VMT since January but it was just Feb. 23 had a very minimal symptoms, was even stable with my exercise at therapist office. Short lived tho, come the night of 26 it came back again .

Any ideas for having to take an Uber and having to sit in the backseat, which increases my motion sickness

Was it an electric car like Tesla?

@@kimg2022 i heard people complaining of getting sick inside the electric vehicles and it was motion sickness.

[@kimg2022]

@@JCX-9 That’s interesting. I haven’t heard of that, but would make sense any car basically if you have motion sickness

[@JCX-9]

@@kimg2022 no it’s specifically something about these electric cars. I have really bad motion sickness and have no problem in a car or any other vehicle only small planes. I have been reading it from people who rode in the EV as a passenger and experience some kind of reaction from being in the vehicle. Could be the battery has some effect on the passengers who are more susceptible to it. Of course not everyone will have that reaction necessarily but I don’t see a reason anyone would just make it up either.
