Body Buzzing/Shaking After Cruise?

[mama_2_boys]

I had this a little bit after our 4 day cruise last year but not on any cruises I had been on before that. Just got off a 7 day on Saturday and I can really feel my body buzzing today. How long does this last? Anything I can do to make it better? I've kept moving most of the day trying to ignore it b/c it's making me feel a little queasy.

Take bonnie or Dramamine for a day or 2

Body buzzing? Sound like Funship Special withdrawls! :) :)

It's your "sea legs"...takes a couple days or so to resolve. I've found that the more I feel the sea while on the ship, the less I feel it when back on solid ground, and vice versa.

 

I agree w/ gemsm...try some Dramamine or Bonine. On some cruises I've found I take that more after the cruise than during.

I only had one Funship Special the whole cruise...that must have been some drink! ;)

Another cruise will cure it. :D

Another cruise will cure it. :D

yes. take two cruises with plenty of fluids and post us in the morning

[mama_2_boys]

Another cruise...I like the way you guys think ;)

Meclizine always works for me. I take it before and during the cruise, and a few days after.

You are not alone! It takes me two or three days to lose that feeling! It usually hits me when I'm sitting or standing still. If I walk a bit it gets better.

I only took 1/2 of a Bonnie twice on our last cruise and didn't feel a think when we got home. It was nice to not have that sea leg after effects that I normally have. Rocking back and forth gently in a chair does help with the side effects until it goes away. Of course if you are at work or out in public that might not be such a good idea ;)

I always feel a bit land sick after I cruise. Meclizine for as many days at sea once I am home does the trick.

Get a service dog

Get a service dog

will the dog need dramamine too?

[mamawsnest]

It's called "mal de barquement". LOL. I have had it after every cruise for varying times.:D

Time is the sure thing. From the studies I have been reading, taking medicine after the fact doesn't really help and is more of a placebo. Meclizine is a better preventative medicine than a remedy.

 

Of course because I read all that, the placebo effect doesn't work for me. Just time. Well time and exercise.

I was still rocking for about a week, after a 7 day cruise a couple of Decembers ago. I made the mistake of leaning over the edge of our home pool to free the Polaris pool cleaner and "rocked" in head first. We had been having days of frigid weather, and the water was painfully cold. Luckily, the heated spa was on and I managed to get into it quickly. I understand now how people drown so quickly in icy water. :eek:

Yes.. I just got home yesterday... N I feel the same hahaha I was taking a shower and I was like wooahh I know I am not on the ship anymore ...

Think naughty thoughts !

You should go see a doctor, this is not normal. You may have an ear/vestibular problem (infection?) that could do this.

 

AFA "sea legs" nah, you're just rationalizing. I did time in the Navy with extended time at sea. Ya don't get "sea legs" from being on a 1000', 110,000 GWT ship for a week....

I frequently have a swaying feeling after cruising. I take ginger capsules while on the cruise & now take them for 5-7 days after returning home. I think everyone is different as far as how sensitive they are to the switch from land to sailing to land. It's not necessarily abnormal - I've read it can have something to do with the crystals in your ear. Hard for me to explain, but interesting reading material - I read a couple of articles a few years back, so my memory of the details is not so great.

I usually have swaying sensations when sitting. lying or standing still for about a week following a cruise. Fortunately, my symptoms have never caused me to feel ill or have headaches. I always thought of the rocking/swaying as souvenir of sorts.

Does cruising give all these people ear infections?

[Keys2Heaven]

Felt that way after our first cruise for a few days, but have not felt it since.

Advising the OP to go see a doctor probably won't help much, considering they made this post in 2011!!

 

Having said that, there is still some great advice on this thread for everyone to see.
