MdDS what is it ?

Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is an imbalance or rocking sensation that occurs after exposure to motion (most commonly after a sea cruise or a flight).

Although other forms of travel have been known to trigger it. After alighting or “debarking” (debarquement) the traveller continues to feel “all at sea”, unable to get their land legs back.
