Hello. I am a 50 year old woman. I have been experiencing extreme tiredness, a bit light-headedness when I stand up, and a dry mouth. I was sick in December and January.. first with a cold then I got the flu (for the first time in 10 years). I haven t had a period since October of last year. (Not pregnant, my husband has a vasectomy when my youngest son was 2 and he is now almost 14.) I admit that I am overweight (by about 40 lbs) and much more sedendary than I was when my kids were younger (my oldest is 19). Do you think I am beginning menapause? I feel as if I haven t been the same since I got the flu. I am just wondering what is up. Thanks.
