More at Popular Mechanics:
When an astronaut first gets onboard the ISS, they feel constantly dizzy because the fluid in their inner ear is floating around in zero-g instead of staying put like on Earth. After the first couple of days, their brain adapts by essentially ignoring signals from the inner ear in favor of inputs from the eyes. Once that happens, it becomes very difficult to force the brain to start paying attention to the inner ear again.
