PMT is pretty much accepted to be a generalisation
not just the mood swings (and officially, science doesn't really know what causes that stuff, so there is no actual PMT \o/)

PMT implies what happens before your period
rather than the pains and hell that happen during.
Auntie: I heartily recommend those heat pads that you stick to your tummy and back

Yeah,
But it's still more than tension for the preceeding days... at least calling it PMS implies it's more than just crankiness.
