In Reply to: CH in women--recent journal article posted by Bob Johnson on May 04, 2001 at 14:34:57:

The percentages for

nausea: 62.5% / 43.5% (w/m)
vomiting: 46.9% / 17.4%
photophobia: 75% / 81.2%
phonophobia 50% / 47.8%

make me believe that among the 101 patients there must have been quite a few migrainers.

At least, from reading the posts on CH.com, these symptoms seem to have a much lower incidence in clusterheads.

The CH.com survey show an age of onset below 30 years for 73%, with a mean nearer to age 20 than 30.
But then, they may have included the delay for diagnosis in this report :-(
