Is this normal?

When I first started getting periods, they weren't bad, I didn't have cramps or anything. I was about 11, or 10. Not sure, completely. In like 7/8th grade my cramps started and they were bad, sometimes I missed school bc of it. My mom would give me this medicine called "Bayer" and that used to help me a lot. 9th grade my cramps stopped being painful, they were there but they were bearable (idk if I spelled that right)

10th-12 grade, let's say in January I had severe cramps like nothing helped, I was puking and having diarreah, cant even stand. But only on the first day of the period. then Feb-March I'd be fine, April comes around and I have the severe cramps again, same thing, puking, Diarreah and can barley even stand. May-June I'm fine. Etc you know the pattern lol. Well this year, Jan-June My periods were fine. I had cramps, but bearable cramps. Well now it's July and I'm on vacation. I just got my period, I woke up at 4am-ish (Pacific time, I'm in California for another week then back to Chicago) and have been up since. It's 6am here. My cramps are so bad. Like I have the nausea and the diarrhea, but I've never felt my stomach clench up before with cramps. It feels so tight. I'm in a hotel, and the only thing that helps is this one pill my mom gives me, idk what it's called lol. But the store by my hotel only accepts debit and I only have credit. Idk what to do😫
