Dear wildoceanflower:

Maybe there is a way for you to tell those people to mind their own business, in a nice way, with a smile, since they are your clients, I understand. When they ask you about your age or other questions that are not relevant to the business at hand, you can say something like: “This is not really relevant to the business at hand, is it?”

I hope the lump in your mouth is benign, that your ankle heals, that your deviated septum is corrected and that your eyesight situation is managed well! Reducing your emotional stress will help so much to improve your physical health.
