Good to hear Fred. The only way to alter the relief on my D18 is to plane the fingerboard and re-fret the neck. Not a job for the inexperienced as pressing the new frets in is, in itself, likely to reduce the neck relief. (A once-in-a-lifetime change from medium strings to light several years ago, made no noticeable difference.)
