Pam,

Without knowing a bit more it is difficult to make serious suggestions. The most obvious thought is "more thyroxine". 100mcg is not a high dose for most people who need full replacement.

I urge you to obtain at least your most recent blood test figures and post them.

Are you aware of the interaction fo thyroxine with drinks, food and other medicines? Could anythiong else you consume be interacting?

Do post with some more information and a very simple history of your issues.

All the best
