It sounds to me like you are having trouble with the PA. Our brains can play funny tricks on us when our ears get fed unexpected things.

I have a couple of questions.
Does this ONLY happen in settings where you are mic'ed or do you have problems sometimes when unamplified?
Have you tried having the stage monitor feeding you turned off?
Have you tried different mics or stage monitors?

After 3 sets of amplified band, you are probably either used to the PA sound or half deaf and are playing on auto pilot.
At more than one occasion, I have asked to have the stage monitor taken away because I could not hear myself in a productive way (not even necessarily too loud, sometimes just an unusable mix). The problem can be EQ, delay, volume, mix with other instruments, wrong choice of mic.......

Anybody else out there with bad PA experience?

If you can, set the PA up between gigs and see if the problem is still there
