Any UK members willing to help a US member out?

I would like to purchase an item that is no longer sold in the US due to nothing more then manufacture greed.

It is a motion sickness band that sends impulses to your nerve to help deal with motion/sea sickness.

This was sold here for years but then discontinued for a newer model. The only difference in the two models is that the older one allows you to change the batteries where as the newer model is disposable and usable for 180 hours, the cost for a new one each time being $120.

Anyone willing to help me out? Maybe shipping one to me?

I got one of these bands for Christmas inside an aftershave set. I believe it was a Gillette power band. Wore it for a couple of days and still felt lazy lol

When they discontinued this version in the US, they allowed only countries in the EU to continue selling them with the provision that they are not allowed to ship it to any US address. I've tried ordering it but I always get an email back saying they can not fulfill my order.

It is such BS! The item is FDA approved over here and was selling for years, but greed got to the company and now they only sell the disposable version.

Yes, I know that any help is better then no help and that i should just purchase one of these and quit complaining, but as someone who can't sit in the backseat and now it seems as though sitting the passenger seat is beginning to set me off..it's a costly fix. I can't even sit on a rocking chair without getting dizzy.

I went for a ride on Sunday and i'm still dizzy and

I'm useless on boats and sometimes planes actually.

Nothing has worked apart from something called : Stugeron

If it is particularly bad i take 1 or 2 buccastem

I don't know if these bands are any different from the ones i tried but they didn't work for me.

Can't you take those tablets or is this a permanent everyday thing for you ?
