Current medical status: I have frequent joint pain, fatigue, headaches during my period,mood swings terrible
Current medical treatment: I have not went to my physican

It is very hard to say because your symptoms are too general and could be the result of many disorders. It could be anything (a simple PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), infection, endocrine disorder, rheumatic disorder or something else.) That’s why you need several medical tests starting with a simple physical examination and continuing with certain blood tests, imaging tests, etc.

You could visit your primary health provider first.
