3D gaming nausea: GONE! I don't care why it works!
TL;DR - these cured my nausea from 3D games. I've been a gamer all my life. I grew up loving 3D games, but as I grew into adulthood I slowly developed nausea when playing or even watching 3D video games. It finally got so bad I stopped playing 3D, and for years I limited myself to side scrollers. Then Skyrim came, and obviously nothing would stop me from playing it. I couldn't play more than 10 minutes without being overwhelmed by the nausea: flushed hot face, pressure in the stomach, abs clenching. Day after day I pushed myself a little further each time (more than once unintentionally causing myself to actually vomit), until finally I could play for a full hour before retreating in agony to lay down and breathe slowly. It may sound like hell to anyone reading this, but if you too love Skyrim then you understand my sacrifice. Flash forward to a few weeks ago: I started Elder Scrolls Online. Then a friend recommended Sea-Band to me. When I saw it on Amazon I thought it looked pretty fake. But I decided to try it. I don't know how to put into words the feeling I had for those first minutes of playing while wearing the Sea-Band wristbands. It was surreal, I was kind of in disbelief. The nausea was completely gone. I cautiously continued playing and felt fine, but I stopped myself after 30 minutes because I was afraid maybe the nausea was somehow delayed and would catch up to me, but it didn't. The next day I played for an hour. And the next day more. I finally accepted that I can now play as long as I want, just like in childhood. I waited weeks to write this review. I thought maybe the effect was a placebo that would wear off in time. Well, it hasn't lost its effectiveness one bit. I start up my game every night, and as it loads I take that time to slip on and adjust the wristbands. I play as much as I want, and when I stop I feel just as comfortable as when I started. I don't get even a hint of nausea. Because of how effective this Sea-Band is, I've been able to start using a technique I've been wishing to try for a long time: moving and looking around independently. This is a really important skill in 3D gaming, but as a kid I couldn't coordinate doing two things at the same time, and as an adult that technique has always made the nausea a million times worse. Now I'm able to use my bow and arrow to shoot at enemies while fleeing backwards. Don't judge! ;) So, thanks Sea-Band for allowing me to spend time in Tamriel without getting sick IRL!
