You've gone a little more underactive, meaning you need to up your dose a bit, maybe to 112mcg or 125mcg. That should hopefully make you feel a little better.

@GG1986 thank-you yes I thought so I've been on 100 for couple years now will give doctors a ring in morning and ask to up my dosage

Folic acid tablets will help the mouth sores. You'll need to ask a Healthcare provider what dosage you should take for mouth ulcers, as too much can be harmful.

I do weekly methotrexate injections and I always had bad oral lesions, a sore and burning tongue, and very bad moth pain. My rheumatologist prescribed folic acid tablets in a higher dose than OTC. I buy the generic and take extra tablets to match the dosage he prescribed. It has been a lifechanger for me. couldn't even tolerate ketchup on my tongue.

Hope it helps you, too.
