There are so many different ways I could go with this line...
...but in the interest of keeping this thread on track, I won't. What I will say is not to go high and to the right with all kinds of "treatments" for a common ailment. Keep doing all the right things - hydration, food, sleep, O2, etc. If you have to go to the chair, go to the chair. If you can't get over it alone, have the flight doc earn his pay. You'll get over the sickness eventually, like dawson said. Don't lose faith.
What you don't want to happen is to get mentally dependant on 'superstitious' treatments, like eating the exact same meal 31 minutes before you launch, or wearing motion-sickness wristbands, or drinking 8.27oz of ginger ale before each hop, etc. It's easy to develop a routine during Fams, but later on in training the schedule becomes a little more "flex." Someday, you'll eat your meal, then the weather will roll in, and you'll launch two or three hours later. All of a sudden, since your routine is off, you will be more focused on worrying about getting sick than the task at hand.
