Does anyone use natural alternatives for hypothyroid?

My body temperature is very erratic. Somedays it's normal, other times, when I feel fatigued, it goes down to around 97.2. After doing some research I think I may have a problem with both my thyroid and adrenal. (I had lab tests done and the doctor said they are in the normal range but totally ignored my temperature issues - very annoying)

I have just started taking Tyrosine, B5, something called DSF Formula and Vitamin C to help with my thryoid. I was wondering if anyone else has been using natural based alternatives with success?

Hi Karrie! My name is Keri too. ;-)
I just started taking a product called Bladderwrack that I bought from a health food store. It was highly recommended by my homeopathic doctor, and also the woman that worked at the store. I recently had bloodwork done and my Thyroid is low. I figured I would try something natural first, give it two months, and check my levels again. If they are not any better, then I will go on the meds. If you are able to purchase some Bladderwrack, perhaps that would work for you. I just started taking it, so I have nothing to report yet, but thought I would let you know about this product.
Good luck!
