How to Adjust your CPAP pressure

Well since they set my pressure wrong I looked up how to adjust it and found a great article. Not sure how to stick into FAQs but Im guessing its probably one of those resources people search for often:

Just dont go doing anything crazy I strongly advise this only be used as needed and with common sense ~ I just am not going to drive acorss town with a toddler on each hip waiting for them to push a few buttons for me to correct their mistake. The controversial issue of self experimenting is covered in the article as well.

Yes Carrie, it is a good resource. I invite you and others to post resources like this to a Sleep Apnea Wiki that James Skinner started at http://sleepapnea.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page .

Any body is welcome to go in there, find the appropriate page and add the resource for us all to share.

... and then the doc will have you make an appointment with the DME so that they can enter the adjusted settings and gouge your insurance for more $$ just to push a couple of buttons on your machine ... and then everybody is happy to see all those $$ fly out of your pocket right?

The DME entered it wrong - Im just correcting it to the proper script they made an error when changing me to the new machine. Im not going into the doctor to push it up to where its suppose to be.

I hear you, Carrie. When I got mine, they had it set with no EPR on. If I only had the patient menu available, I would have had to go back to them. Thanks to my fine friends here, saved me and my insurance some bucks probably (not to mention aggravation and gas money!)
