First thing "thyroid problems"?? How do you know you have thyroid problems. Who or where did you get that information if you haven't seen a doctor yet?

I agree that you should get a diagnoses first...then look for alternative treatments as the synthetics currently available are not a great option. They take over the thyroid's job rather than repairing it to work again the way it should and they often cause additional medical issues down the road.  
 
The doctor will prescribe prescription meds...never over the counter for thyroid.  
 
Have you seen a naturopath? If you would rather not see a doctor, this can be a legitimate alternative.  
 
I was able to get a supplement through one that did repair my thyroid. It's ingredients supported my adrenals among other things. It took a few years, but I no longer have a thyroid problem.

Was the doctor you saw here in Brandon? I have had an underactive thyroid for years and haven't had success in my efforts to help it heal and  
work on it's own again.

There's no over-the-counter thyroid medicine.  
go see your doc before something else happens as a result

Pm'd you. ;)

Just go see your doctor. My doctor noticed my thyroid problem first

You are best to go see a doctor. You may have an under active or an overactive thyroid. You could also have something altogether different or nothing serious at all. If you searched the internet to diagnose yourself then you are your own worst enemy and could be causing more harm than good. Do yourself a favour and go to the doctor for a proper answer. Just my opinion, but I certainly would not risk getting sicker instead of seeing a doctor.

A simple blood test is the only way to confirm your thyroid function.

i would natural way than see a doctor and pack you with meds

I take meds for my thyroid that help a bit, but find the best way to get the most combined benefit is with the foods I eat. Do your research to the food connection. Food plays a massive role in your overall health.The meds only help a bit ( yes I still take my meds) If you have regular hypothyroidism it can be an iodine deficiency, where as if you have Hashimotos it is an autoimmune disease and cutting out gluten helps a lot. ( That's what I have) I''m not a Doctor but there is a wealth of nutritional information out there related to thyroid. I finally started researching it after finding medications only did so much.

I use kelp as well, but instead of using the recommended dosage on the bottle, I follow the dosages recommended by dr. Sircus (drsircus.com), which are far greater. It's taken some time, but I am finally feeling much better. I would highly recommend trying this.
