Default Help! My car's temperature gauge is messed up!

Here's the deal. My temperature gauge goes up to H, back to normal, up again, and back down. I'm really pulling that it's a temperature sensor, but I really don't know. I took it to my mechanic who 'supposedly' did a pressure test on it and told me to buy some K- Seal and that it was my head gasket, since I didn't have the $1200 to dish out for a repair. After pouring in that stuff to my radiator, it still fluctuates and I'm thinking there's no easy way out of curing a blown head gasket. Any ideas?

Flush that nasty stuff out the cooling system and then bleed it.
