Question

and dont be like DONT READ cause cmon

Answer 1

Meghan gave some great advice.  In addition (from personal experience), I would add (really only applicable for reading):

11. When reading, don't look down but hold the book up so you can look at it keeping your head level.  Try to restrict the view of everything speeding past outside the view of the book.  I have found this to help, too.

Answer 2

Have you tried taking anti-motion sickness pills such as dramamine?

Answer 3

Dramamine for motion sickness works well.  

Answer 4

Here's what I found from a quick sweep on Google. (honestly, not reading is the best cure) Also, go to a Vitamin shop and get ginger pills. They are the natural motion sickness pills.

1. Watch your consumption of foods, drinks, and alcohol before and during travel. Avoid excessive alcohol and foods or liquids that “do not agree with you” or make you feel unusually full. Heavy, spicy, or fat-rich foods may worsen motion sickness in some people.

2. Avoiding strong food odors may also help prevent nausea.

3. Try to choose a seat where you will experience the least motion. The middle of an airplane over the wing is the calmest area of an airplane. On a ship, those in lower level cabins near the center of a ship generally experience less motion than passengers in higher or outer cabins.

4. Do not sit facing backwards from your direction of travel.

5. Sit in the front seat of a car.

6. Do not read while traveling if you are prone to motion sickness.

7. When traveling by car or boat, it can sometimes help to keep your gaze fixed on the horizon or on a fixed point.

8. Open a vent or source of fresh air if possible.

9. Isolate yourself from others who may be suffering from motion sickness. Hearing others talk about motion sickness or seeing others becoming ill can sometimes make you feel ill yourself.

10.  The over-the-counter medication meclizine (Bonine, Antivert, Dramamine) can be a very effective preventive measure for short trips or for mild cases of motion sickness. Your doctor also may choose to prescribe medications for longer trips or if you repeatedly develop severe motion sickness. One example of a prescription medication is a patch containing scopolamine (Transderm-Scop) that often is effective in preventing motion sickness. Remember that scopolamine can cause drowsiness and has other side effects, and its use should be discussed with your physician prior to your trip.
