No, you don't sound stupid. Yes, I meant "menopause", but I prerer "change of life" to emphasize CHANGE (OF ATTITUDES & EVERYTHiNG ELSE!) Women forget that change is good in this case.

Anyway, hormonal distress can happen at any age, even your age. I am not diagnosing you, because I don't have that ability. But people, esp. women, seem to be less robust than in previous generations, and are getting hormonal challenges earlier & earlier...I hear this all the time. I didn't get the hormone symptoms till I was about 51. Best of luck to you, and keep looking for things, incl. lifestyle changes, to get healthy.

Oh, by the way, hormonal challenges are often related to a sluggish liver.
