Tamoxifen side effects
Hi everyone, I'm new to both BC and this forum. I was diagnosed with invasive LC (triple neg) and LCIS (hormone pos) in Oct 22, aged 43. I've had WLE, chemo and radiation. Am now on baby tamoxifen 5mg...

It looks like you've got a double bunger - both triple negative AND hormone positive .... hence the Tamoxifen. Often it has 'less side effects' that some of the other Aromatase Inhibitors .... but it basically puts you into 'menopause', hence the weird stuff happening to you just now.
Can I ask what your age is? Had you gone thru menopause already? Even if you had, the meds will ignite some of the 'side effects' too :(
What region do you live in? Are you in a city or regional/rural? We may have members nearby who can point you to available support groups nearby. (You can add your 'general' location to your profile.)
Also, check out this post, which shows a lot of other areas in the forum that you may like to explore - showing off your furkids, your garden, art & craft & many other things .... we even have some laughs & share 'wise sayings' too ....
