Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is a rare balance disorder that most often develops following an ocean cruise, other type of water travel, or motion experience.  MdDS persists for months to years.  Common symptoms include a persistent sensation of motion such as rocking, swaying, and/or bobbing.  This sensation of motion is often associated with fatigue, difficulty maintaining balance, and difficulty concentrating (impaired cognitive function).
