OH YES I DO!!! I don't have a TV and don't go to movies because they often make me sea sick. I am terribly effected by things high. Seattle Center's Space needle, tall buildings, bridges, OH MY! Terrible feelings! LOL!!! Do you have trouble with heights too?
When I was little I was on a Wild Mouse ride (it is a square rollercoaster that goes way up high, when i went up, I was so freaked, I almost jumped, but my older brother who was next to me saved me from jumping out (a good 30/40 feet up).
Do you also get vertigo? That's what watching some TV nad movies feels like to me. SOrry you have it, not fun!!

No, I'm ok with heights but didn't go up Seattle Space Needle when we were there recently as it was very expensive ( tho the ones in Vancouver and Toronto were fun!!)
It's just the fast camera moves make me feel sea sick. Awful isn't it? I remember having to tell my girls to keep still when they were younger as their moving around made me so dizzy!

It is awful. I have never tossed my bisquits, but it causes gagging like I will. I don't mind, TV is such a time waster anyhow
I went on the space needle when I was 9, I passed out. I get that same dizzy driving over bridges. I have passed out so many times to things related to heights. Oh well, there are worse things, right?

You bet! But going over bridges when the sun shines thro the bars or driving by trees and the sun flashes in and out has the same effect on me, but didn't have it before ME.

I have done a bit - I put it down to the brain fog. Usually accompanied by feeling a bit confused and "fuzzy". If I feel that way I stop watching and rest, or do something else. Resting certainly helps me over time.

yes, getting supine really is perfect, with a warm blanket

Yes, it affects me when I'm really worn out too with brain fog, but I wish they would stop those annoying camera moves - I blame Jamie Oliver for starting it!! (sorry Jamie, I do love your recipes, just not the camera moves!)

yes yes yes!!! I can't look at anything that moves quickly or especially swirls round....like when the camera pans round a room. I feel really sick and dizzy. I never really understood what that was about and of course my GP just said oh really....not interested. It leaves my head feeling full of cotton wool and also makes me feel tired.

you might be right about it being vertigo. I don't know that anything can be done about it though it would be good to at least know. (and add to the list of ailments we all seem to have!)
