Hello
I haven't taken BH, however, at age 49 and as someone who has had many of the PM symptoms that you have, it's been my experience that the anxiety is more over-whelming in your early 40s (due to the first BIG drop of estrogen) .. That said, doctors were of no help to me... so I began to read up on PM on my own and discovered a great book called, Screaming to be Heard by Dr. Elizabeth Vliet... it covers BH, stages of PM thru to menopause itself... it's a great book and I thought you might find it helpful...
It also talks about anxiety, insomnia, weight gain and so much more..
I got so much out of it... and now that I have some knowledge as to what the heck is going on with my body.. :) it makes things so much easier.... for me and for my family...
check it out, I think it's a must have for all women..
good luck !
