And male menopause could factor in here too.

That's really interesting. My PN started about the time I started in to peri-menopause. They have yet to find a cause. Of course it would help if I had insurance and/or could afford to see the specialists I need to see to attempt to get a definitive diagnosis. I never noticed an increase in pain around the time of my periods though. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, I just never made that connection if it did.
I wonder if, in the next few months to a year, I'll see a lessening in symptoms? That would be soooo awesome!
