I am posting this question in a separate thread for 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.

the only time I had that type of thing was after my accident and sever head injury and concousion..post conconsion syndrom. and i had the things you stated you dont have like dizzy and virtigo etc...

I'm a 34 yr old male andthis condition seems to describe me perfectly. Growing up, I did get motion sick in cars and boats but as I've gotten older its gotten much better but within the last 3 months its being set off much easier. I even got car sick while I was driving which hasn't happened before. On 2 occasions over the last 6 months, coming out of the shower I had pretty bad pain in my right ear for about 20 seconds and then it went away but I didn't feel nausea or dizziness.

My doctor prescribed antibiotics for 5 days in case it was an inner ear infection but it hasnt helped. Any luck on finding a cause?

No, I have changed stomach specialists and he has not been able to find a reason either. I thought that maybe since the inner ear has been ruled out that maybe the stomach doc would take my complaint more seriously.
