New to my idiom: Land Sickness. I had never heard of this before until recently when a fabette told me she was suffering violently from this unpleasant ailment, having returned from a Nordic sea voyage.

People experience sea-sickness but 'land sickness' is rarely discussed.

It's the body's slow or delayed adjustment from the sensations of motion and undulation when being 'at sea'.

So I learnt/learned something new today.

Many years ago. Used to go out in relations charter boat to help out. I was never sea sick. But if weather a bit ‘choppy’. Once back on land had to rest for about an hour to stop being land sick.

I'm ok on trains, but can suffer from it in cars and buses (and on boats).

Yes after being at sea for any duration it takes the senses a few days to adjust to being back on dry land. The feeling of movement when sitting or lying down is the main symptom.

Yep passenger seat in a car and a winding road are a combination my stomach still can’t handle

Same, I don't like being a car passenger. Fine as the driver anywhere.

Exactly! If I'm driving I'm fine. But I'm a passenger in my own car my stomach begins to churn.

KC² - is there a wheelchair travelling phenomenon?

I've not felt sick whilst whizzing along in my chair, but being a passenger in the chair in the back of adapted taxis is horrible

I had this a few years ago when work sent us on a team building jolly sailing yachts...we were out all day in quite a choppy sea, and when we went out for a meal in the evening the vast majority of us were sat at the table swaying as if we were still on the boat
