Do these work? I am so nauseous all the time and am thinking of buying these. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

They work wonderfully, if you put them on exactly like they tell you. I used they when I was pregnant with my son because I couldn't be in the car without throwing up. I put those on and headed for a family vacation from Ohio to Florida, never nauseated once. Was fine all the way there and back. So I even put them on daily after that until the morning sickness finally went away. The ones I tried, I think the name was Sea-Bond, or something similar to that. Hard to remember, that was 8 years ago. Good Luck!

I was soo nauseous that I had to be hospitilized all the time cuz i lost like 60 lbs so fast but the bracelet didnt work for me so they gave me some pills and evn though i couldnt eat the pill stayed down cuz it was soo small sothe only thing that worked for me out of everything they tried was a pill called Reglan, so maybe if you have to go to the hospital tell them that, just a suggestion, hope you feel better

Yes! They work! Well, at least for me they did, everyone is different. But because of the pressure points, the "Seabands" really do work for some odd reason. I tried EVERYTHING and that seemed to help the best. Also, their is a CD called "Morning Well"- look it up on ebay or amazon- that works really well to- the way the sounds of the cd affect your brain helps nausea, its not hypnosis, its just different tones.

They didn't work for me. The only thing that did work was eating!!!! I'd throw up, wait until the spasms passed (about twenty minutes) and then eat something quickly. It didn't matter what! I put on weight - no one believed I was actually ill. I was eating horrible stale dry bread, anything, out of desperation. Just to get through each day without throwing up.
Try salt & viengar crisps - the vinegar acts as smelling salts. And ginger. Ginger beer, ginger ale, ginger biscuits.

My personal belief is those are more of a placebo affect. You pay money to think u are feeling better. Try plain lightly salted potato chips or saltines. Ginger tea or ginger in your food is known to decrease nausea.

They work a little. They will help if you are mildly nauseous but will not make a dent in severe nausea.

I don't know never tried them. Chamomile tea and any herbal teas help me when I am nauseated. Also, there is nothing a little doobie won't fix. When I smoke a bit, my nausea will go away.

They seemed to help me. They are called Sea-Bands, and I got them at a scuba-supply store. You can probably get them online or through a pharmacy, I suppose.

never heard of it... but If it worked.. it might be because of the placebo-effect...
