Mention it to your doctor - he may just be able to give you something to help.
How's about us all coming along to give you a hand and check you are okay??
No seriously, I can understand your concerns - I suffer with balance problems and it really is very unpleasant - I'm not sure how I would feel on a ship. :? I do finding wearing tinted specs does help quite a bit.
But as the others have suggested, it might be worth having a word with your GP .
Every time my hubbie brings up the subject of a holiday, I'm not really interested. As you say, it's the hassle beforehand of packing and finding passports - everything is just such an effort, isn't it and only we really understand.
Having said that, I'm sure once you are actually there you can just relax totally and do virtually nothing.
Good luck and we will all pray for calm seas for you.
P.s I do understand the stress you feel but think of the benfits of the warm weather and the sheer relaxation you will get. If your still feeling under the weather then take 5 mins to visit the captain of the ship - he will cheer you up :wink:
Help!! I am going to cruise to Spain and am getting worried now too and feelign worse. When I booked my dizziness was better and stayed that way for 6 months until last week, now I am worried. I asked the Doc for something to take and she said take my advice and don't go. But my family are really excited and I can't back out now !!
What a shame you are not feeling good now. I am not long diagnosed with CFS and i had a girlie holiday booked in Benidorm for 4 nights. I was not looking forward to it as i didn't want to be a party pooper :lol: I decided to go with the advice of my family, friends, bosses and G.P. I went and had a great time, rested during day, couldn't drink much but i must say i suffered dreadfully on the last day and a good few days afterwards. My GP said i would be just as miserable at home.
I would advise you to go and rest all day in the sun. if i'm right, if you are going with the family you won't be painting the town red at night. Obviously i don't know what you are like when you are feeling ill, but if you explain to your family if you go you will have to rest when you need to and maybe sometimes they will have to go it alone.
You've obviously been looking forward to this cruise.
Let us know what you're decision is and how you get on.
