Thanks to all and a warning to all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, thank you to every one who replied to my need to increase the pressure on the REMstar pro. I was able to increase the pressure and get a good nite's sleep. This is indeed a great forum and everyone is as helpful as they can be. I was just amazed both the public and private posts I received. (Almost 20.) A big thank you to Lisa who wanted to make sure I got the info. However, here is a very important warning for those of us who choose to increase the pressure on our own. Although I do not remember exactly what my DR said could happen if the pressure is too high, (even by a couple of points,) I remember I suddenly understood the danger in doing so, that it could lead to a major medical injury. Altho' I was told last week by the Clinician who did my study, that he went up to 16 (from 10) I felt that was too high when I set it there, and dropped it down to 13. (Still three points up from where it originally was.) Even at a study two years ago, when '12' appeared to be the correct setting, my DR, after reviewing every thing, determined that 10 was adequate. (Even 12, only two points up, he determined, was a gamble he didn't want to take.) So, with this in mind, I just wanted every one to be aware that although my pressure definitely needed to be increased, I did have a number from my study last week, and I chose to be safe, and reduce from their highest setting, to where I believed I was safe from possible 'harm.' When I go back to my DR next, I'll be sure to ask him exactly what the danger is, and post it here for all to see.
Thanks again to everyone,

Peter
