Quick question - does anyone get sustained, intense headaches in the same spot that they think is due to either pred or pentasa?

Have had one in the same spot for over a week and trying to figure out whether it is linked to UC or medication at all.

Thanks guys

Have your blood pressure checked. While on prednisone, I had uncontrollable high blood pressure, readings of 216/110 and on three different BP meds too. High BP will give you some doozy headaches.
