PMT (pre-menstrual tension) is now called PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) in recognition of its wide range of symptoms. PMS has physical symptoms like water retention and swollen/painfull breasts, migraine and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, stress, irritability, depression and unexplained anger.
Symptoms usually appear in the run up to a woman's period, hence the "pre" bit of pre-menstrual, and fade a day or two into the period, although this is not true for all women.
No one knows what causes it, although it's highly liely it is connected to hormones! There is no specific cure although many women find that taking a contraceptive pill helps. If this is inappropriate then many doctors offer vitamin B6 as a treatment.
PMS is a very real and very bothersome condition, despite what many men would have us beleive. We aren't just trying to make excuses for our moodiness! Honest! lol

I saw this on a tv show - PMT = pre menstrual tension and it is a build up of tension in the lead up to your period which causes mood swings and sudden outbursts (in some cases). PMS =pre menstrual syndrome and describes all physical symptoms caused by the hormonal changes ie. bloating, back pain, swollen breasts etc.
