If you are menopausal and have hay fever, are your meno symptoms worse during hay fever season?

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

I've been peri-menopausal for about three years. It's not severe compared to some of my friends but I do get hot flushes and sweats. I had noticed that I have long periods without hot flushes, for months at a time, and then they come back. My husband commented yesterday that it seems to coincide with hay fever season (Feb to May, Aug to end Sept) and I think he might be right about the timing. Is that a thing?

That's interesting and yeah I reckon there might well be a link as I seem to get worse symptoms as soon as the pollen starts. I dread the whole thing. Never used to get hay fever and now I get that on top of all the joys of peri!

Not just me then. Most of my friends seem to have consistent symptoms, so the the first time that my hot flushes stopped I thought I was over it for ever. At this stage I'm thinking I might never be over the hot flushes and it'll just be yet another hay fever symptom forever.

My symptoms come in waves too and I'm 3 years menopausal. I do suffer from allergies but never noticed a link.

My 'waves' last from 1 months to 2 or 3 months.

Def a link. My ears are bad today, keep blocking and un-blocking and I have raging post MT! My period went away for a day then returned today with a vengeance. I've spent all morning crying and now DH has taken DS to his gran's to give me some time. I'm about to start HRT. Hoping this is the answer
