PMS makes everything: feel worse. It's like a mini case of time limited depression. The good news is that if you know it's PMS you know it will end in a few days. The bad news is that it happens monthly. Knowing this can help make it a little more tolerable. Consider learning hypnosis for pain management.

Maybe: PMS increases stress in the body, and could possibly amplify the pain.
