mouth ulcers

I've been on Carbimazole for about 2 months, I have definitely noticed an improvement in my over all symptoms and my last blood test showed progress although I'm not in normal range yet.

One thing that is damaging me greatly is I'm having really bad mouth ulcers. I've always had issues with them but at the minute they come 5/6 at a time all over my mouth, makes it impossible to chew. Anyone got anything that could help prevent this, or give me an explanation? My iron, folate etc is all fine. b12 is actually high.

thanks
