I have always had a problem with motion sickness. When I was a kid it wasn't so bad. It basically was only a problem in the back seat of a car in a trip with lots of starts and stops or carnival rides with lots of spinning. Which sucked because I loved "scary rides" but even though the height or falls didn't scare me the spinning motions would make me ill for hours.

Now that I am an adult it's hard to ride in a car with someone else driving without getting a little ill. Riding the bus often now I'd like to be able to read or play video games while waiting. I can play a bit on the bus (like 5 minutes at a time) but reading for a couple minutes is almost impossible. I always thought it was just a thing some people could do and others can't.

I have been looking into it and some studies suggest you can train yourself to not get motion sick, at least to some degree. Anyone have any experience with getting over motion sickness? Can you read or play games in a car or bus? What helps?
