Re: [wacma]what can I do to stop feeling sick

December 29, 2001

This was my son Andre's problem also, but it's almost completely gone now

that he's taking Diamox.

Much love,

Only lots of love and laughter keep us going!

It's andrew. my mother has been corresponding to you all on my behalf.

A question I have is how do you stop from feeling sick during movement,

if any of you have this symptom. Rides in the car, walking for

excessive periods of time or bending over seem to make my headaces and

nausea worse.

Any suggestions on what to do would be much appreciated. My mother has

suggested wearing a neck brace to stop the head from rolling around too

much on the neck. Seems to work and give some relief sometimes.

Again, any suggestion welcomed

Kind Regards

I would use a neck brace aka soft collar in the car. I'd also avoid cars as

much as possible. I suffer the misfortune of having a big neck. No one makes

braces in my neck size in my state.
