What I am concerned about, and if someone could tell me why I
shouldn't be, that would help a lot!

Is - With an adjustment appt. approx. once a month, and with the
typical increase of .2 for each appt., it appears that I would be 'bumping
up' against 10.5 very quickly. Surely they're assuming that most people
wouldn't need an increase close to the above for every month of the year??
Hi David,
Perhaps get neurologist to give you a range you can use and that isn't too great that you can get into too much trouble with?
I think D.I.Y. is a much gentler and far more convenient way to go.
I might go up but only by 0.1V at a time then give that setting a few days to notice any changes as thats how long it often takes.
Then you might want to try 0.1V up or even find you were better off on the setting you had it on and go back to what it was.
I doubt the settings will go up a great deal more as too high can mess with you mentally as well as cause you to physically feel worse.
I agree with you about battery life the main thing is that you benefit from it.
Good luck
