What does HRT help with?

For context, I am currently only on birth control and don’t think that it’s helping/I have bad reactions to it. This current bc that I’m on causes me to sob 4 days straight and even made me have a full blown panic attack. Not only that, but the week leading up to my period I have constant joint pain that won’t go away. I’m also hyper mobile, so it makes everything 10x worse.

Once I start the placebo pill, my emotions go back to normal. However, the pain is still there. Plus, every 9 days leading up to my period, I get what feels to be a vestibular migraine.

Even on the active pills I still feel like total garbage. I have muscle aches, am constantly tired, have 0 energy or patience, get hot flashes, have horrible brain fog, etc.

Is there any possible way this could be solved with actual HRT?

They keep changing the brand of my birth control. So I just finished the sugar pills and just took the new one today and I feel extremely sick. I’m a bit dizzy, nauseous, and my hip hurts like hell. Is this normal? Can having estrogen be reintroduced cause these side effects?

Edit: Can starting estrogen after being off it for a week, make you feel ill?
