I have travel-sickness pills to address it and just have to wait until it goes away as there doesn't seem to be any way of treating the actual problem itself.

And I have noticed that I am far grumpier these past few weeks since I had it, too... so maybe there is something in what you say, Caprice.

I plan on getting one of these soon because I believe balance is a sense that needs to be exercised everyday in order to maintain.

I'm currently reading a book on balance http://www.amazon.com/Balance-Search.../dp/0316011355

It's alright in teaching me the mechanics of how balance works. But he specifies examples like what happened to you BeautifulBurnout. It happens to a number of people that way too.
