Menopause Questions 3

I have always suffered from bad premenstrual tension. Does this mean I'm in for a miserable time at the menopause?

Not necessarily.
Although premenstrual tension and menopause symptoms are both due to changes in hormone balance, the monthly cycles at the menopause involves smaller levels of hormones, and progesterone disappears completely.
So the hormone changes may affect you quite differently.

On the other hand, pre-menstrual tension and the menopause can both be influenced by stressful situations and by your own feelings.
