Hello @rick53, Welcome to Connect. You will notice that we modified your discussion title a little to better describe your question to help members find it and share their experiences with you. I was fortunate to not have headaches while taking prednisone for my 2 occurrences of PMR. Here's some information on the topic:

"What helps prednisone headaches?
Acetaminophen is recommended for headaches when taking prednisone. There is a risk of a moderate interaction between prednisone and ibuprofen. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen for a headache if you are taking prednisone."

Have you mentioned the daily headaches to your doctor?
