From the IHS diagnostic criteria for CH:

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Quote:

Diagnostic criteria:

At least 5 attacks fulfilling criteria B-D
Severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital and/or temporal pain lasting 15-180 minutes if untreated
Headache is accompanied by at least one of the following:
      ipsilateral conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation
      ipsilateral nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhoea
      ipsilateral eyelid oedema
      ipsilateral forehead and facial sweating
      ipsilateral miosis and/or ptosis
      a sense of restlessness or agitation
Attacks have a frequency from one every other day to 8 per day
Not attributed to another disorder

You do not need to have all the symptoms.

Have you been diagnosed by a neurologist who specializes in headaches?

CH is so unique to the individual, the absence of one or more "standard" symptoms does not by itself eliminate a CH diagnosis.

If you have the option, work with a Headache Specialist Neurologist. There are hundreds of headache types, many of which mimic a lot of the CH symptoms. Working with a specialist will give you the best shot at an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment regimen. Good luck! Wink
