For me,when my period comes i didn't feel much pain. Just a lil discomfort then it will be gone on the following days,having a cold drinks before period is a no-no for me I'll be rolling on my bed in pain Emotions will changed too,become extremely sensitive & will easily irritated with minor things But well,different people different kinds of signs lor..

Ya,it is normal. Like old people sakit sengal here and there. Sometimes i experience it,but very seldom lor
