Like many these days, I'm a frequent sufferer of the newly emerging illness, video game motion sickness. When I play first-person shooters for extended periods of time, my eyes send the signals to my brain that i'm moving, but my brain fires back that i'm not, and it gives me extreme nausea and a woozy feeling in my head. I purchased a product off of Amazon called PsiBands yesterday, which were endorsed by Oprah herself. These wrist-bands need no electricity or bells or whistles, they just apply pressure to a particular nerve on the inside of your wrist that relieves the nausea! They're also suggested for pregnancy morning sickness and sea sickness. I had avoided playing my newly rented Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game because it continuously made me ill, but on my first try with the bands I was able to beat the entire second half of the game! In one sitting no less! Though this is the first motion sickness wristband I've tried, I'm curious if there might be a better brand out there. I wasn't nauseous when playing, but I could still feel a slight discomfort throughout my body, as though the motion sickness was still struggling to break through. Regardless, it was definitely the lesser of two evils. So I'd suggest getting this particular product, or another brand name's version if you have any problems with motion sickness, video game induced motion sickness, morning sickness or sea sickness.
