Thank you for your help!
So glad I found this forum and extremely grateful for your assistance!

This past June I moved from Seattle to Arizona and, after three years on CPAP with regular visits to my sleep doctor and supplies provided by a home health provider, I found myself in limbo, needing pressure adjustment and supplies but without a new doctor in my area.  To make matters more complicated, the year prior to my move I'd successfully lost 120 lbs which, of course, resulted in my pressure being lowered from 15 where it started to 8.  Following the passing of my service dog, I found life much more complicated and, unfortunately, am back to the weight where I started which means I again needed a higher pressure.

Thanks to the provider manual you sent me, I was able to adjust my machine's settings to automatically adjust the pressure with a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 15.  Using the software you recommended, I'm excited to see that, once again, my apneas are once again extremely low.

I managed to connect with a new PCP a few months ago and he was able use my previous sleep study as a basis to prescribe supplies without referring to a sleep doctor.

So happy to have everything worked out and finally be able to make needed adjustments myself, saving the time and expense of visits to the sleep doctor.

Again, thank you!
