SSS patients will normally have most but not all of the symptoms in each degree listed above. The symptoms of SSS and the ability to “handle” motion often vary from day to day. One of the reasons for this is that motion sickness can be accumulative. An exposure to visual motion can make one less able to handle a new exposure up to three days later. Conditions such as fatigue, PMS, and hypoglycemia can also make the symptoms worse. Also, if one develops an inner ear condition in addition to the SSS, the symptoms are usually more severe.
