[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So no other odd symptoms  - weught loss, fainting, dizzy, headache?

The vomitting triggered by motion is sort of understandable especially if dh was similar as a teen, BUT the vomiting and naseau daily(!) is not normal. Does it happen only during the school year?[/quote]

OP here. He doesn't have any of those symptoms. Just the time-sensitive nausea. It only happens on school days, and only when he gets up early enough to catch the bus (which suggests something psychological but he likes riding the bus, so I think it is more the getting up early that is the issue).[/quote] But there’s also the overarching sensitivity to motion, like with long car rides, right? The mornings he misses the bus - does he get there by quick car ride (and no nausea)? What happens in the afternoon, commute-wise?

If the common denominator for nausea is travel by school bus or long travel by car, then maybe it’s an equilibrium issue.  And maybe the vomiting en route to the bus is (subconscious) anticipatory nausea for the upcoming bus trip.

Or…like everyone else already said, he he just needs a protein bar. 😁[/quote]

He definitely has a strong sensitivity to motion. My sister drove him to the grocery store 15 minutes away last week and he had to throw up once he got there. It's crazy. But it's also not a new thing so probably a red herring. He tells me that it only happens on bus days but it starts before he gets on the bus, which is strange because on some of those days, he is not sleeping in but rather goes in late to get in a morning study session or finish something up. My theory on the difference is that on bus days he gets up and there is an immediate flurry of activity to get ready for school, and on the days when he gets up at the same time but doesn't get on the bus, he is sitting quietly working on something so he "eases into" his day more. When he sleeps in, he's fine.[/quote]
