Are you on hormones, dsd? If you are not, I cannot imagine what connection there could be between menopause and your hives. If you are on any hormone preparations, you could be reacting to those. I'm sorry i can't be more helpful, but I think dermatology, not gynecology, is where you will find the answer.

I wonder what other symptoms you are having specifically, because it could be a result of hormonal imbalance. My daughter gets a rash right before her perod and my niece gets hives from time to time before her periods, I got them as well after starting my perod. It actually could be too much progesterone as opposed to estrogen levels...especially if you're also having dizziness, lethargy, etc.

In my case, menopause (perimenopause, actually) was responsible for my hives! I started progesterone treatment, and hives were completely gone in a week.
