Orkambi and Rash?

Has anyone else had a rash after starting Orkambi? I know as side effects go this is a minor one, but it is really driving me crazy. It is popping up all over my body and is itchy and a little burning. I work with dogs and out near poison Oak a lot so I'm just trying to figure out if this is an Orkambi rash or a Poison Oak rash. If anyone has experienced a rash please let me know what it was like and if it goes away like the other side effects do.

I'm on Day 3 and experiencing a lot of flatulence(really stinky!), chest tightness, insomnia, some upper stomach pain. First day I coughed up a lot of mucus, but now I am having a dry cough.

Many people talk about the SOB and chest tightness and how it goes away, but I haven't heard anyone talk about the rash, but I'm hoping it goes away like the other side effects :)
