Ok, I have to ask...how the heck do people cope with travel sickness, mine's reached the point where I was almost sick going into college last week on teus...WAS sick comming home, weds I was shaking so bad I couldn't move. Thurs was still shaking and feeling like I was going to be sick and friday was just getting over it.
Thing is I'm traveling like 3 hours a day just for college.

Doesn't sound like travel sickness, but you can buy the wrist band things from Boots which seem to work for most people.

It is travel sickness, only it's become so bad that when I actually get sick from it, the effects last for days.
Armbands don't work for me either. I tried them but they're like placebos.

It doesnt sound like sea sickness to me, the symptoms last too long, it seems almost like a nervous phobia causing nausea.

Travel sickness doesn't last for days. And the wristbands work better than placebo.
Maybe you should seek medical advice.
i get pretty bad travel sickness, but it wears off within half an hour of getting back on land. you should see someone about that.
i don't find the bands work, personally, but i don't think it's just a placebo as studies have shown they are pretty effective on a lot of people.

The wristbands from Boots do work as well as the pills.
Incidentally, I know it's been a while since I did Latin but shouldn't it be Alta Presencia? Presencia being a 1st conjugation noun that goes like mesa.

Is it Latin?

Altus - High
Presencia - Power
Yup, latin. And as I said in my introduction, I'm teaching it to myself so things tend to be off slightly butstill legible. I've only just aquired school text books off of ebay to help me with putting them together. So far I've just been concentrating on the actual words.
It's travelsickness. I know this because I've had mild travel sickness since I was three, and the effects have just got more intense and longer lasting over the years till I have reached the point where I need to do something about it.

To be fair, it could be any Romance language. It means "lofty presence" in Spanish, for example.

I never liked spanish, it was always too fast for me.
Eitherway, it works.

Well, lofty presence in Spanish would be Alta Presencia. Italian is alta presenza.

I used to get it pretty bad but luckily don't suffer with it anymore.
The travel sickness tablets used to really work well for me. Can get them from just any chemist as far as I know. :yes:
