Premenstrual syndrome, commonly abbreviated as PMS, is a medically recognized condition with a wide array of symptoms. These symptoms range from marked increases in fatigue to sudden and virtually uncontrollable flashes of anger.

Symptoms include chills, fever, headache, soreness, backache and fatigue. Individuals who are at higher risk for developing more severe disease often have an underlying medical condition that affects their immune system, such as AIDS, diabetes or asthma, or …
