Very common error: Almost everyone - both genders - all ages - think bloating is part of pms. Perhaps it is time to add it into the definition since usage is an important part of meaning. But, till they do - pms is only the emotional components - moody, irritable, etc. The physical features are there and can be the biggest complaint, but without emotional symptoms - you don't (officially) have pms. Feel better? ;-).
