tips and tricks for nausea??

Try those drug-store seasickness wrist bands. There's an acupressure point on your wrist that can be effective for nausea.

IME, acupressure works best when it's uncomfortable; I suspect it works by trading a lot of one sort of pain for a little bit of another, but that's just my theory. I mention this because if you try it and it doesn't work, find the place where applying pressure to the little plastic nub is almost painful.

Placebo or not, these are effective nausea control for my wife.

Also: ask your doctor for anti-nausea meds. They're not expensive, and while prescription, aren't class-3 or whatever it is that makes doctors afraid to prescribe them. They don't work for me, but they're 100% effective for my wife.
