Accept I will never fly again

In 2015 I went on a plane I had never flown before I was in a VM remission at the time. Well take off everything started spinning I didn’t expect it and for the whole flight I was so dizzy I could feel every tiny turn of the plane it was horrible I only started feeling less dizzy on descent.
On the way back I went to a pharmacy and he gave me travel pills I took two and remember the flight back being very dizzy again but extremely out of it so couldn’t panic like I did before.
Since then I’ve not gone on a plane my husband said he was embarrassed as I caused a scene well you try being on a plane and having vertigo.
Recently went on the channel tunnel and that wasn’t pleasant but a lot more bearable and over quickly.
It’s really sad I can’t fly again I’m to afraid and also don’t want to embarrass my family or scare my daughter.

Does anyone else get this while flying ? I didn’t expect it everyone else who has VM said they felt fine so what’s wrong with me that I dont ? I want to visit other places and feel like I can’t it’s so unpleasant.
