I have gone and told my doctor about it and has not prescribed anything. She thought that I might have a thyroid problem but I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone else suffered with persistant nausea and have some recommendations on any OTC meds that might help or anything??

This sucks for you. Nausea can be a sign of brain trauma or concussion. There is a lot that could be wrong. You could have vertigo, a tumor, a lot of things. Get another opinion.

If your doctor thinks it might be a thyroid problem, she should order blood-work to be sure.
Nausea is usually a symptom of something else and given its duration, you should not, at this point, take anything to mask that symptom until you know what's causing it. There are so many things that it might be that it's impossible to list them here, but I will tell you this: get a second opinion.
My sister suffered from stomach pain and nausea for months and months. She had several tests run, a few MRIs, blood-work, barium contrast, you name it. The doctors never found anything. Finally she was in such pain that my mother had to take her to the emergency room, but she took her to a different hospital than the one they'd been going to because they just weren't finding anything. This other hospital gave my sister an ultrasound and discovered a HUGE abcess in her abdomen - about the size of a fist. How the MRI techs and the barium contrast missed this is beyond any of us, and how the doctors that were pressing on her stomach missed it is also a mystery.
Anyway, they rushed my sister to a different hospital that had the surgeons with the expertise to operate, and they ended up removing this huge thing and several feet of small intestine. Turns out my sister has Crohn's, and her intestine was becoming diseased and dying.
Don't ignore the nausea just because you're OK most days or you can take something to mask it. It's NOT the disease, but a symptom of another disease and should be taken seriously. I'm also not saying that you have Crohn's - far from it. All I am saying is that doctors are human and a pair of fresh eyes might find what's wrong right away.

Might be a good idea to get an opinion from another doctor.
Are you stressing about things in life?.
Try some Chammomile tea this works wonders when one has an upset stomach.
Happy New Year.
May it be a good one for you.

If you also have dizziness, try Dramamine.. motion sickness pills. OTC & legal. You may have an inner ear problem. Try closing your eyes, stick your arms out to the side and tilt your head way back... do you about fall over?
