Database Inclusions ?

Speaking of a CH database the blood type thread has fed my thoughts on what should be included in the individuial DB.....such as
- age
- gender
- weight
- blood type
- meds tried, sucessful
- meds tried, failed
- left or right handed
- smoker
- married
- divorced
- siblings
- siblings with CH or migraines
- hypertension
- depression
- age HA started
- age CH diagnosed
- time between first CH and correct diagnosis
It would not be necessary for anyone to reveal their identity in this process, as a matter of fact I am a BIG privacy advocate. All I am interested in is raw data to plug in.
These are but a few of the possible factors involving CH. Can you think of more? I believe the more common factors figured in the greater chance of discovering patterns between us. Help me out guys, what other factors could be figured in.
Imagine 50 or 100 or 1000 clusterheads keeping up this DB for a while and finally uploading all the individual stats into a final tally....I wonder what is going to turn up. This could be virgin territory yall.

Mark can you please include race in there? There is a big issue with african american women going 3 x longer than white females before being diagnosed. It was something that was brought up at the convention.

Mark,
How about.
1-chronic or episodic
2-alcohol consumption (since it seems to be a trigger for so many)
3-sleep patterns
4-alternative treatments
5-what % go through this med free and what treaments do they use.
6-and oh yeah, don't forget that finger & toe thing 
Jim
