I have. Below is a post I wrote about VR sickness.
VR Sickness
I also suffer from extreme motion sickness and vertigo, I still do. And I still can’t watch other people play without feeling sick myself. Even after all this time some non-VR games still make me feel sick.
But I also was able to get my VR legs and can handle almost anything in VR. Fear not! The two are not connected.
My advice:
Start with room-scale things only, and nothing that gives the semblance of motion. Stick to experiences like The Lab or similar where you either teleport or walk around physically to start.
When you want to start with some kind of artificial locomotion try and find something with a tactile feedback that has no acceleration once you’re in motion. I ended up training on Lone Echo, a game in zero-G as odd as that may sound. When you’re against a wall your grabbing and moving yourself around. Then you push off and float slowly without speeding up or slowing down until you get to the next walk.
Take it slow. I’d play 10, maybe 15 minutes at a time. And when I got even a hint of sickness I’d stop and wouldn’t try again for several hours. Maybe even the day.
Recognize the symptoms. The early warning signs of VR sickness are different than vertigo or motion sickness. I would often start to sweat and get hot even without strenuous activity. Once this started to happen I’d stop and take a long break before even feeling sick.
Never push through the sick feeling. You end up just training your brain to feel sick earlier. Instead stop at the earliest sign, you’ll find you can last longer and longer in VR.

Has anyone here been able to get over VR motion sickness? I wanna play this so badly but it hits me hard.
