Motion Sickness

[kdmac]

I just typed three paragraphs about my nausea, and other things....went so fast and didn't copy it and of course lost it with the cursed clitch of late. So suffice it to say I will paraphrase.

I recently PM'd Beth on a tech issue and I also mentioned how I am no longer nauseuous and I attributed it to Motions Sickness since my new site is more protected from the hurricane winds than the last site. She said that some of you and herself had suggested "motion sickness" to me in previous posts....I guess that's where I got the idea. So, thank you all for brilliant diagnoses. Gosh, 3.5 months of winter storm winds on a daily basis, maybe four days repreive in all that time, was too much for my little ears to handle...not the best way to loose 20 lbs. I am going to try to not gain that back...holding steady so far.

Regarding rocking RV's I did want to suggest to new RV'ers to NOT buy stabilizers for under your slide. If you have a flat tire or experience significant rocking it can mess the slide up substantially. These slides do just fine without any need for stabilizers....If you went outside and saw a flat and your slide at a 45 degree angle...that would be a bad day...I remember years ago when slides first came out (no pun intended) people used the stabilizers....you don't see them anymore cuz the word got out.
They still sell them, but don't buy them.

So good to hear that you are feeling better and that you are having to continue to worry about some hidden secret health issue....you aren't still worrying are you? Simple explanations can work!

Yeah - and hate that's how you lost the weight, but need to find a method that'll do that for me

I just saw a rig not long ago with a stabilizer under their slide - and just shook my head. But you can't tell some people ....

No, I never did worry, I somehow knew it wasn't anything critical...funny, how we can tell the difference. I still am slightly queasy, but not like before...and I look forward to my next site tucked in the mountains along the Rogue River, maybe there I will have some "angle to the wind" choices..I will probably be praying for a breeze when in the woods. I lived for eight years in the mountains of Leavenworth Washington...and in the winter it was so still you never saw a twig move...summer was heat induced winds every morning and evening...man, I loved living there.

Beth: I too, have determined that you can't tell some folks anything. I remember being high up on a trail at Mt Rainier, one of my favorite high hikes...I have climbed the mountain once and gone half way up about 12 times in my youth. And hiked the lower trails countless times. I know the routes the climbers take, having done it myself, and the times of day you will see them there. I had my binoculars with me and was watching the climbers just about at the top. There was a man and woman near me at a lookout point. I asked if they wanted to see the climbers with my binocs. he looked and couldn't zero in on them...an idiot...so he hands back the binocs and says to his ladyfriend, "There's nothing up there and no one climbs the mountain on this side" My husband was with me at the time and we laughted about that for years....I catch myself now before I mention anythign to anyone. We recently took a cruise to Alaska with a couple we knew and when we got off in Juneau, I am far more interested with the peaks above town than the stupid stores and shopping...so I had my binocs and looked up and saw Mountain goats on every peak, they were prolific...even some right there by the dock. Anyway, offered to show my friends and he took the binocs and also couldn't find them....didn't know how to look in binoc for them...I am so done trying to be helpful in those situations...There is one 5th wheel here with stabilizers on the slide...the 5er is here all the time and they only come and visit occasionally, I say nothing.

I too have read that you are not to use stabilizers under the slide outs.
