I had constipation, severe nausea, and diarrhoea 5 days before my period. Is it just bad PMS?

Your symptoms are typical of PMS (in this case you have a lot of them all at once).

See what happens next month - (if this is unusual for you) and we can look at Agnus castus and some dietary changes if necessary.

Please let me know how you get on.

Kindest regards

Emma
