" Reader Question: I get motion sick when I travel, and I heard that there are pressure-point wristbands that might help. Do these really work?  These bands (like Sea-Band or Travelband) don&amp;#039;t contain any drugs and are safe to try, but they don&amp;#039;t work for everybody. The concept is to apply pressure to specific acupuncture points; if you do try them, be sure to follow the placement instructions closely. You may also want to talk to your doctor about getting a prescription patch for motion sickness, such as Transderm Scop. You can get the prescription filled before you leave for your trip and keep it on hand as a backup in case the wristbands don&amp;#039;t help you. The patch is safe for most people, although children, people with glaucoma, and those who have trouble urinating shouldn&amp;#039;t use it. I want to hear from you, so e-mail me your questions at dailywd@womansday.com.
