I live in bisbee. It is such a cool little place.
What a neat place to live.
You did a great job with video!!
Woke up in the middle of the night with an episode of BPPV about 8 years ago. Nausea and the only relief was to hold my head perfectly still. Called friends and one finally told me how to do the Epley Maneuver and it cleared right up although felt exhausted for a day or so. Thankfully hasn’t reoccurred!
Weird. Never heard of someone waking up with it.
Welcome back any time!!!
So sorry for your vertigo. I’ve had it and it can be hard to function. Wishing you a fast recovery.
Sorry you are having an issue. Enjoyed the video.
Vertigo sucks I had it and was debilitating, last up to 30 minutes, came and went for a year. ALL good now hope you get better too. Thank you stay safe
Thank you ! I'm planning my trip from France and your videos help me decide on my destinations! 🥰
Hope you have a wonderful trip.
Loved it! Except for the vertigo part. I've had it once. I couldn't stop vomiting for several hours. I am glad you were off the stairs hike when it happened. Thanks for the wonderful video capture.
Hope your feeling better, enjoyed Bisbee ,like to visit one day🎉
Great video thank you!
I had a friend who had vertigo so bad it was ruining her life. She saw lots of doctors and tried all kinds of different remedies. She finally found a doc who said to go on a very low sodium diet. Vertigo went away.
Interesting.
Deb, hope you feel better soon and have the vertigo on the run. Thanks for sharing the video in spite of the illness. I guess no happy dance for now.
Took the next day slowly but then ok. Thanks
@@FromShetoMe good to hear!
awwww - hope you’re feeling better!!!!
Weird that your comment went to the "held for review" tab.
Support comment, thank you for your tour vid 😊
I hope that vertigo got up and left. It's no joke. We have a friend who gets it now and again and he's completely debilitated. Take good care!
In the 70’s, both Bisbee and Tombstone were not so touristy. Now not to be unkind, but it was the mining and western history that was the draw back then. You could go in a lot of the buildings that really were original and a lot of that is no more as business people bought them to turn into stores. But if one is a tourist and hey if I had not been there in the old days, I as a tourist would love it all 💗💗
Yes, my first visit was in early 70’s and it was much more authentic.
Wow! Your timing is perfect! My husband and I are in Tucson today. We're planning to visit Bisbee tomorrow (along with Kartchner Caverns)!
Thanks for the great video, as always!
FYI, Karchner let’s RVs camp in the parking lot if they are full. You do have to pay though.
Great video! You are such a creative cook. We LOVED Tombstone. We went to the touristy Shootout at the OK Corral and found it fun and well-done. We were treated, by a local musician, to country music and song while eating a delicious lunch at Big Nose Kate’s. An 80+ year old man, at the next table, was toe-tapping and spinning to the music. So cute! Rose Tree Museum was a history gem telling about the “town too tough to die.” The courthouse is a beautiful historic landmark. I would definitely recommend going. 💕 Love you guys!
You’re right. Lots of things to entertain there. I think we just didn’t like the hucksters.
What a great little town! I get vertigo periodically. Dr called it benign positional vertigo. Has something to do with allergies. I take benadryl to stop it. Works pretty good.
I think it might be related to the position in which I was editing.
Fascinating video. We have been to Tombstone/Bisbee several times before and with RV. We had the worst vegetarian meal ever at the Steakhouse. They wouldn’t even serve us a baked potato. They only had even for the steaks. Our last time there we did the OK Corral thing and really enjoyed the Cyclorama. As for Bisbee my son’s great-grandpa was born and reared in Bisbee before Arizona was a state. He used to regale us with stories including the annual soapbox derby through Brewery Gulch. I can only imagine. They used to sell Bisbee Blue turquoise jewelry set in gold (instead of the traditional silver) but I believe the supply of local turquoise is exhausted and the price of gold is $$$! Have stayed at the haunted Copper Queen Hotel. Last time there we boondocked high above town. Parking is a definite challenge. There is funky trailer park to stay at if you don’t have your own RV and an awesome Art Deco Courthouse. Bisbee is also the home to Joanna Brady of the JA Jance mystery series. We’ll have to do the mine tour next time. I thought the tour was of the open pit mine
I know what you mean about trying to order a vegetarian meal at a steakhouse. You don’t expect to get a lecture when you eat out.
Thanks for sharing your mining tour. Hope you have got welllllll in the meantime!
Yes and I've learned a lot about it now.
Debbie, another good one! I really enjoy the mining stuff. Hope you’re feeling better.
Much, thanks.
Haven't been to this area in over 20 years, Bisbee is looking good and yes, I think Tombstone can be skipped over. Looks like a good idea to stay in an rv park while there. iOverlander posted a spot for about 5 vans but you may not always find an empty spot. Except for the vertigo(yuk!) looks like you had a good time there. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great video about Bisbee, AZ. Thank you! 👍😉
I have occasional vertigo events but it is really not fun when you wake up in a campground in Wyoming on a motorcycle trip. I stagger to the bathhouse like a drunk. I was able to ride that day but could not look around, when I stopped at a stop sign I had to put both feet down and look both ways slowly. The only good thing is a motorcycle has some gyro effect so the bike stays steady when I hit a bump and your head is swimming for a second. Great video thank you.
Try this therapy to strengthen balance. Stand barefoot on one foot pick forward focus point turn head only pick side focus point and feel your foot work, this sends nerve messages through body. We have tiny hairs in the ear canal that can crystaliz as we age.
That’s scary! Next time you might want to find a PT to perform the Epley Maneuver.
Sorry about the vertigo. Knock on wood I've not had it in spite of the fact I do a lot of computer work. I remember my dad talking about Bisbee turquoise and I suppose they took in the sights when they were there in the '80s. Can't wait to see where you end up next and what you have for us. Until next time... Travel safe.
Bisbee is a tourist trap. I lived there for two years the entire town is geared for tourists. A great place to visit... there are two rv parks on double Adobe rd which is about 11 miles out of town down 80. The experience staying out side of town is much more authentic.. the deer are tame,, the javalinas come very close and you can't beat the experience of a big pack of coyotes running through the park at night.
We’ll have to try that next time. Thanks
Sorry you're feeling badly dear friend. By the way, we don't have room in our Ekko for us and Annette. 😂. Bisbee was really cool.
🤪
Tombstone’s Shoot Out at the OK Corral is very good Camp. Scared my Dog, Koa, into trying to hide. Miss that Shepherd who crossed the Rainbow Bridge September 2021.😢
That would be fun. Similar to the shootouts they have at Knott’s Berry Farm.
Louder & more dramatic. One time only unless introducing others to drama.
If you can ever get a real (real) piece of Bisbee Blue turquoise, it is stunning. It is very hard to find now but it’s sure pretty!!
Yes, I saw some at the museum.
Tombstone was on my list - didn't quite have enough time last year. I can now skip it! Barkers are just not my thing... We have found private RV places (like this one) work perfectly for visiting certain places! We did it at Yellowstone & the Black Hills, because we did not plan months in advance & yes, felt safe leaving the RV. Bisbee looks great! But yikes on the vertigo! Hope that has gone away.
If you are traveling to Bisbee anyway, you might as well stop at Tombstone and check it out. Part of the problem that day is that it was really quiet so we were a bit outnumbered by the "barkers."
Thank you Debbie and John.
We have to have Bisbee on our list.
...wonder what could get precipated your Vertigo?!
Hm...all stairs in combo with slight altitude ?
Hope you feel better soon.
I love your make up Debbie.
❤
I think it might have been that I had spent too much editing in an awkward position.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Hope you feel better by now.
Thank you for all these amazing videos,Debbie,but YOU COME FIRST,PLEASE!
NO MORE "EDITING LIKE THAT."
❤❤❤
Thanks for the great vid. I know way too much about vertigo - it's pretty bad. There is one manuver that works with one attempt guaranteed. Search Carol Foster, MD vertigo on UA-cam. I know your vid was back in February so you're probably okay by now. But if any symptoms persist do Carol's manuver and the vertigo will go away for good, immediately! It's different than the eperlay manuver. I got vertigo traveling in our Pleasure-way last summer in Montana and it's not too fun.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out now in case it ever returns.
I love the tour guides are recycled miners❤
After a bad car accident with a head snap I had vertigo. PT used the Epley maneuver a couple times & cleared it right up. About 6 years later vertigo came on again after being sick for a couple days with sore throat & ear infection. Found a PT within 5 miles who got those inner ear crystals back to their proper float pattern using Epley x2 treatments. After never having vertigo in my life I swear by Epley for treatment - fast, easy & painless. Hardest part was find a PT who practices it. It was suggested to me by my Chiropractor.
Good luck & look for those to sources if Dr. John can’t get it settled down for you.
I keep running into lots of people who have had vertigo. Never knew it was so common.
Enjoyed the video as always! The Epley maneuver only works if you have the kind of vertigo where one of your eyes twitches back and forth constantly. Then you do the Epley maneuver for that side. It’s happened to me a few times the first time I went to a walk-in clinic where they taught my husband the maneuver. Your eye wasn’t twitching that we could see.
Thanks, I will be more aware if it happens again.
@@FromShetoMe Epley Maneuver is for BPPV benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Added the town Bisbee to my potential travel locations, but I think I will skip the mine tour! While I’m not claustrophobic, not much in underground sites. Thanks for the campground & museum recommendation too! Sorry about the vertigo episode.
I was in Bisbee & Tombstone when I was in my late teens in 1974. I remember the mine still open, It was still a working town. It sure has changed. And it looks like Tombstone did too. Looks like they are now tourist traps. Too bad.
Thanks for the Bisbee and mine tour. It fell off our itinerary and now I’m bummed we missed it. Vertigo is a b&$@#! I feel for you and hope it’s cleared up. I had my first experience with it last year. It felt like being in the old carnival funhouse, without the fun!🤢
Good to go. Thanks.
Really enjoyed your Bisbee video, it’s now on my list of places to visit. Although everyone’s vertigo is different, mine happens most often when I work on my computer and turn my head back and forth to look at notes or anything to the side. I just have to be very aware and turn my shoulders not just my neck when looking to the side. It eventually goes away, but I do have to be careful as it is so annoying.
Bingo! I think that was what instigated mine.
Have you been to Sabino Canyon in Tucson? It’s an amazing desert oasis with pools, a river, and small waterfalls.
Sounds awesome. Will look it up.
Greetings Debbie.
Have you heard of the EPI MANUVER for vertigo? It works ! My hubby has vertigo occasionally and he does this special exercise each time
. Works well for him
. .
Yes, and another viewer told me about one by Carol Foster, MD.
Bisbee is a fascinating town, just be aware that the elevation is over a mile above sea level. That might explain the case of vertigo after climbing all those stairs.
That was the smallest scoop of
Ice Cream 😢
And it was expensive.
Oh no! Hope you're ok.
All better. Thanks
I travel in a Sprinter van and notice that I occasionally have a slight bit of vertigo. In my case I think its the gas sloshing back and forth as I move in the van. Then when I'm home and in a small place like the bathroom I sense a little bit of vertigo but I think that is cuz my body/mind expects it to move like in the van but in the house it doesn't move. Maybe it comes with age. I'm a bit older than you , I turned 70 today actually.
Happy Birthday! For me, it came on when I was editing in an awkward position. But it is also much more prevalent in older people.
I hope you are doing better, and your vertigo doesn't crop up too often. Bummer, it happens while on the road. Bisbee reminds me of my hometown of Grass Valley/ Nevada City. Both mining towns from the 1800s with even an old mine turned State Park called Empire Mine State Park (Though no rides into the mines). The museum rock samples were awesome. How far out did you have to book your Bisbee RV reservation? Great video!
I made them at the last minute.
Love Empire Mine SP. that’s where I learned that those mules/donkeys were brought underground in the mines and never saw the light of day again. 😢
@@educateddogcenter I completely forgot about that park. We stopped there probably 15 years ago. Need to return.
I feel your pain with the vertigo! Only happened once so far, but threw up many times it was so bad. Let us know if you do the Epley Maneuver treatment.
John tried it on me but probably needs some practice.
@@FromShetoMe I think a trained therapist would work better.
@@joycem2795 LOL. For sure.
You can do it yourself. I’ve had the physical therapist show me & gave me print outs to do it correctly. It’s used to get the crystals back in place.
@@cathyvirnoche3603 Thanks for passing that info on! I’ll look into that.
I really liked your video you shared a lot of good information. What about your vertigo I am a physical therapist, I have treated patients with vertigo and ive had vertigo myself. I have never heard of using a neck brace. And I don’t understand how that would even be appropriate. Your strength to not be decreased so she should be able to keep your head up. That just sounds very strange to me maybe somebody else has heard of it. I hope you got over the vertigo mine just comes and goes and I take a medication meclizine.
Haven't had any issues since then. I did some on line research which of course should be taken with a grain of salt. Just hope it never happens again. Such a weird sensation.
My sis had vertigo, sorry to hear about yours. She was a resident and an Ariz Ranger serving and living in Tombstone until her passing away.
We are western people that love western history. Unfortunately it takes money to keep these little towns alive. Disappointed you didn't care for your visit there
Maybe they are just getting back on their feet after Covid. But everywhere we went it felt like they were trying too hard. You know the feeling if you've ever walked on a car dealer's lot.
Have you had vertigo before? Oh please, let us know how the procedure worked! Also, which watches do you two use? Each is different... Happy travels.
This was my first experience with Vertigo. I have read that it is more prevalent among seniors. By the time John tried the procedure, I was already feeling 80% better. It only works if the problem is the inner ear. But another viewer recommended that I check out “Carol Foster MD Vertigo Treatment.”
We both have used the Apple Watch for many years and are sold on them. I use the camera app all the time to start and stop video. The activity app helps to keep us motivated and to monitor heart rate.
Complaining about the tourist traps in Tombstone …after traveling to tourist areas like Tombstone ! Hmm
Not complaining so much as warning others. Tombstone is over hyped IMO.
Yep Tombstone is a pass for sure.
Vertigo is caused by the chicken pot virus, you have to go to the right ent, not all ents have this training so make sure they do, to have the medical treatment. I know this because my mom threw up for ten months because of Vertigo. Good luck
DEBBIE,&JOHN,HELLO, I COULD LOVE TO BE THERE,but stairs kill me nowadays also now walks slow,if I were to fall,I would NOT be able to get up unless I had a good hand hold,
I HAD NO IDEAit was so close to the MEXICAN BORDER , SORRY for your vertigo,,only once,was I subjected to that! I was put on a good stool,closed my eyes,then was turned 15 times,then told me to read a sentence in front of a few hundred people,by the FAA,YOU WILLNOT CORRECTLY READ IT,,that was a CLASSIC DEMONSTRATION,OF SPACIAL DISEENTORATION The cause of many aircraft crashes,,,,,,, Stay well, till next time,,,,,,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How fascinating. I don’t do well with spinning.
Is this a cooking video???
🥴
Just read the article. Makes me sick. I wish more people would pay attention to history. Reminds me to some extent of the Wall Street massacre in OK.
Yes, it was a real surprise. Should be included in history classes.
Tombstone sucks 😂
I do like that they have kept the Main Street dirt.
Really enjoyed this video, but I just wish that the violence and swearing could be left out, it serves no purpose.
I had to watch the video again because I didn’t know what you meant. I still don’t know what you mean. Maybe you can give me a time stamp.
@@FromShetoMe Yes I will have Bernie mail them to you.
There was no violence or swearing in this video. I know I’m watching it way past the fact but that shouldn’t matter. This person must have it confused with another video. You guys don’t seem like the swearing and violent type anyway
@@pamelabassett7778 I am in no way the kind of wacky person that says violence is never the answer, I believe that if a woman is threatened with the loss of her Chasity or her maidenhood is about to be compromised by a smarmy street thug, she should avail herself of anything at her disposal, no question about it. But I also see a world so consumed with hate and violence that if one were to add as much love into their day as possible it would never equal too much. Humanity requires love in the same manners as it requires food water and air, saying that or commenting it puts me at great personal risk, yet I choose to do it anyway. I am old and soon will end my journey, but if I leave anything behind for those still venturing, let it be love and the immeasurable value of it.
