Ask someone with MDDS

There are no effective, non-experimental treatments at all. The experimental treatments are not covered by insurance, are ineffective in a lot of people, and as far as I can determine, are only done on the east coast. The condition is *very* poorly understood and research is underfunded.

There are medications to treat symptoms (nausea, etc) but I am finding them not very effective. The apparent motion occurs during sleep (though I am of course not awake to experience it) - upon awakening nearly every day, the nausea is overwhelming as I have done nothing for 7-8 hours to manage the symptoms.

I have tried taking an anti-emetic at night but it does not work for me. Motion sickness medications like Meclizine and ordinary dramamine don't work for this at all and the latter for me has side effects that make it unsuitable in any case.
