Hello, I also have PM and was diagnosed in Oct. 98. Your doctor should have raised your Prednisone BEFORE surgery to stop a flare up. Now that your in one the only thing you can do is get a lot of rest and wait for everything to become normal. Do you take any immunosupressants like Imuran? Please feel free to email me anytime if you want to talk. Hope you start to feel better soon. Vicki
