Actually Di you are right. The majority of it is in your head, mental I mean. While a inner ear infection or something of that nature will cause it. It mostly has to do with your ability to cope with it. I luckily don't have it, but I have acrophobia intsead. I will do the same thing if I stand halfway up a ladder. I get queezy and light headed and my hands sweat. Odly enough, airplanes and stuff don't bother me at all, and I love rollercoasters. Only open platforms and ladders do it. I'm not alot of fun in a tree stand.

Go to your doctor and talk to him about it. He can tell you what is around that you can try. And possibly prescribe something short term for you. I have met plenty of people that get prescriptions to fly. A pharmicist might be able to help also. I took something called antivert when I had vertigo and it worked ok for the nausia, but everything was still spinning around. It also made me very tired. I am going to guess that anything that works well will most likely cause drowsiness. I have noticed the same thing with alergy medicine. Oh that's something else you could try, Benydril(spelling?). That drug seems to work for just about anything.

Best of luck, Paul

P.S. Maybe you could get hyptnotised into believing it does not bother you.
