I had only ever seen them in the drug store here (Canada) for $20 which is quite pricey and I was skeptical that they would work for other kinds of nausea, namely the kind that comes with my migraines. Not long ago I did buy a set when I saw them at the drug store--I thought I'd give them a try next time I had any nausea that wasn't motion-induced. Unfortunately I keep forgetting that I have them here. You know how it is when you start to feel that queasy feeling--you just want it gone and you want it gone now. I end up taking my gravol or bonamine or metaclopramide instead. And then the next time I pass my hallway table I see the package of pressure bands sitting there and kick myself. So, I can say that yes they definitely have worked for me to stop motion sickness, but I haven't yet tested them on my other bouts of nausea. But like you I am curious. I'm actually glad you posted about this because it reminds me I should put these in my bag--lately being in a moving vehicle even for a short time is starting to trigger at least nausea and often lately a migraine, and I should try using these when I'm on the train etc. and see if they help. Thx. If I have any success I'll let you know ;) I’ve used these successfully to stop the nausea from motion sickness many times but then I lost the set.
