Synthroid and synthroid dosage

I have been on synthroid for about 6 months now. Some of the side effects I have been experiencing are numerous.I have hair loss, sometimes I get so ill that no one can stand to be around me, my weight has gone up about 30 pounds, my cholesterol levels went sky high so now I'm taking Crestor, I'm bloated most times, I have episodes where my face flushes and gets so red that it feels like its on fire, and now I've just started experiencing burning and aching of the legs, I'm tired a lot too! My doctor said I would lose the weight but every time I go for check ups and get on the scale it just keeps going up. I would like to know if anyone else out there is experiencing the burning and achy legs because I have been tested for everything and they can't find out what is going on. They of course say it's not the medication.It seems to never be. Does anyone feel me??

My boyfriend has been on synthroid for about 3 years. He was recently given an ekg as a preliminary to knee surgery. The ekg came back abnormal. His dr. thinks it could be related to the fact that he recently increased his synthroid dosage. Has anyone out there ever had this happen? He's very concerned and now has to go for more tests....
