in some good news, i learned that taking dramamine before playing video games with 3d cameras eliminates my motion sickness. it feels stupid to have to take medicine to play certain video games, but i know it works and it opens a lot of doors for me to play stuff (given i get at least a half hour/hour lead time on playing games since thats how long it takes for the dramamine to start working)
annoyingly, having read the back of the box ive learned that my mother (who has to be concerned about what meds she takes) was chronically under-dosing me whenever i asked to take some for plane trips and car rides, which makes me retroactively frustrated for my younger self and all those times i still got nauseous and threw up upon reaching our destinations. thanks mom.
