I turn 56 this year. Will I be free of the menopause symptoms?

I'm afraid I can't give you a date, or even a year! Each woman is entirely individual and symptoms are sometimes long-lasting and sometimes over quickly. 

If you give me an outline of your symptoms and how long they've been going on for, I may be able to give you some rough idea of the likely progress of your personal menopause.
