Jokes on you, everyone on lemmy are males :(. But hopefully that changes eventually! Crosspost questions for females from there to here!

Ask any question and ideally only females answer the question. Males can answer too, but ideally you state that you’re not a female.

Try those drug-store seasickness wrist bands. There's an acupressure point on your wrist that can be effective for nausea.

IME, acupressure works best when it's uncomfortable; I suspect it works by trading a lot of one sort of pain for a little bit of another, but that's just my theory. I mention this because if you try it and it doesn't work, find the place where applying pressure to the little plastic nub is almost painful.

Placebo or not, these are effective nausea control for my wife.

Also: ask your doctor for anti-nausea meds. They're not expensive, and while prescription, aren't class-3 or whatever it is that makes doctors afraid to prescribe them. They don't work for me, but they're 100% effective for my wife.

Have you had a chance to try them yet? Did they help at all?
