Default Anyone Have This Type Motion Sickness?

I am posting this question here per suggestion from the TN forum. Although headache is not part of my symptoms, I have another on going symptom that I can not seem to find any information on and my doctors all have dismissed it as being unimportant. I have a lot of motion sickness. I have had this problem all my life as far as riding in back seat, playground merry go rounds, etc. However, for the last 10 years or so, it takes very little to send me into an all day nauseaous state. The worst thing about it, is that I can no longer do any type of exercise that involves raising my upper body up and down the slightest little bit - i.e., ab crunches, or any form of pilates that I have tried.

Almost every thing I have tried makes me sick - there may be some parts of a workout that doesn't bother me, but then to get a total body workout is out of the question. Has anyone else heard of this type of motion sickness?

I do not feel dizzy, no head spinning as in vertigo, just a funky nausea that lasts the rest of the day. I do not vomit, but just feel terrible. I have always thought this was connected to my ear pain - although it does not happen at the same time. ENT has performed every test imagineable and nothing can be found wrong with my ears, sinus, etc. Thus, the TN dx.

If anyone knows of another forum that I could visit for this information, please let me know. I don't have MS or vertigo, so I did not want to post in those threads.

Thanks for your help.
Rhonda
