Ok, my period is due next week and I am experiencing bad PMS. For the past 3 years my symptoms have increased, cramping day before and day of. Very moody, bloating, constipation, and sometimes even depression. Well last night, my stomach was cramping a little and I got very nauseous. Is this normal? I 've felt nauseous before but it seems to happen probably every 3 months or so. Has or does anyone else get like this before their period? Oh and I have severe mood swings, i'm like a pure devil, mad, then sad, depressed anxious. Anything that can help?

Some women take an anti-depressant the week before their period if they have severe pms. That isn't for all women, though. Studies have shown that if you cut way down on your salt, and increase the amount of calcium you take in during the week before your period, your PMS symptoms may be greatly reduced. Make sure you're drinking enough fluids, mostly water, to flush out your system, help cut down on retention caused by salt, and replace the fluids you're losing.
As for the nausea, sometimes cramps and other abdominal symptoms will cause nausea. Bummer, eh?

How old are you? If you're stll in your teens this is very common, heck its common throughout adult hood as well. If you want to help ease the cramping and the sick feeling, go on the pill, it regulates everything and helps calm the muscles.
You can try doing some exercise the help the muscles relax, or use an electric heating blanket and put them on your lower stomach to help try and relax the muscles.
Don't worry hun, you're not abnormal, you're just female. lol and boy does it suck sometimes

Do you take birth control pills? You probably should. You need to get your hormones regulated. Sometimes BC pills can actually do more than keep you from getting pregnant.

i'm the SAME way. talk to your doctor and see what can s/he do for you. they can go more in depth with your symptoms and probably prescribe you some medicine.
