> Ok - so I got resluts that show my tsh at 3.276 and my pdoc says that's perfectly normal, even though I have tons of signs for hypothyroid - I called to get an appointment with endocrinaolgist and the first avaiable appt is in OCTOBER!!

No, but you could try selenium (200 mcg/day). There are enzymatic conversions of the various thyroid hormones (T4 and T3 variants) which depend on selenium-containing enzymes. There's also another process that is inhibited by selenium, so it's rather a crapshoot. More likely to work for you than work against you, though.

Mania and hypomania are not always pure highs. Irritability, sleep disturbance, certain types of hyperactivity, "noisy brain"....there are different kinds of mania.
