An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
I’m not the kind of guy who regularly gets motion sick. It has happened in the past, but I have a pretty cast iron stomach. Honestly though, I’m taking no chances. I hopped over to ebay and scored a ReliefBand just in case my stomach decides to go a little wonky during my flight tomorrow.
The ReliefBand comes, as shown above, with a tube of conductivity gel and a booklet explaining how to use it. Basically you grease the inside of your wrist up, then turn it on and lay the two electrodes over the tendons in your wrist. I set it at level 3 and could feel the buzz in my wrist and palm. It cycles on and off in 4 second pulses and isn’t unpleasant at all. Even on the highest setting, I’m certain I’d forget about the sensation pretty quickly.
I’m hoping I don’t need to use it tomorrow. But if I do, at least I’ll have it along for the ride.
