    I can see how that might happen with the higher contrast and rapid patterns. Even if you're not seizure prone, that could cause eye strain and discomfort.
    For now, I'd recommend turning down the contrast on your screen, lowering the effects to minimum, and playing in a well lit room, with enough distance from the screen. Hopefully that can mitigate it. If you're still having issues, you may want to talk to a doctor about it

    I tried laying in bed and sitting ALL the way back from the TV during this fight. It actually did help for me.

    Although a bit odd, I did try not consuming excessive amounts of sugar, and only eating anti inflammatory foods. It oddly did offer some relief from the effects. I even tested it on days where I did eat healthy, and didn't, and it seems that on healthier days, I do appear to have less nausea from the raid.

    I'm no doctor, but it is thought that some migraines are caused by your diet. Of course mine have many causes, but it is at the very least worth experimenting with different things to help your migraines, nausea, and/or motion sickness. No person is going to need the same alterations to their life. Everyone is different, and I encourage everyone to go out there and try different things to improve their health, no matter how crazy, or odd it might seem to others. Go do you. c:
