Some of us having inner ear, balance and tinnitis problems.. car

sick/motion sickness is related to pressure and balance in the inner ear,

isn't it?

With me, it was always hypoglycemia that did it. Of course, I could

also get " car sick " when not in the car when my blood sugar

dropped..LOL

>Hey, Topper, yup! I just read something that might explain why I am

better. I keep forgetting that I am taking adrenal glandulars too

and so am getting more cortisol to help me...this particular good

effect is from the adrenal glandulars I'll bet, after reading this..

The individual differences in the salivary cortisol levels constitute

space motion sickness warning signs. Motion sickness produces a

variety of autonomic consequences including salivation, gastric

stasis & changed EGG. There were large individual differences in

cortisol response and these individual differences were related to

motion sickness susceptibility where higher motion resistance related

to greater cortisol response. The latter finding is consistent with

the findings of Kohl. In other types of sickness such as the nausea

and vomiting induced by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy with

cisplatin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) treatment which induces

cortisol release, has been shown to be effective in reducing nausea

and vomiting. There is evidence that corticosteroids may reduce

nausea and vomiting due to hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnancy and

reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. Lower baseline cortisol has

been reported to predict those patients most likely to suffer nausea

and vomiting with cisplatin treatment and higher cortisol to predict

greater resistance against such nausea and vomiting. Thus the

possibility exists that cortisol although seen as a stress response

may be acting also in a protective manner in motion sickness and

other types of sickness.

Okay, now I need to know more about this thread. When my thyroid first went

haywire I began having problems with vertigo. My doc told me it was an

inner ear virus. It has come and go over the last 15 years. It reared it's

ugly head last week after four different plane rides. I used to be able to

ride roller coasters, etc., now I feel like it would make me sick. Are you

now telling me this is related to hypothyroidism also?
