I am having the same problem here too. They had to do a tracheostomy and my neck was already burned and flaky and now it seems worse under the trach neckband. I have also developed a rash that started right at my shoulders on my back and is moving down my back. I put Eucerin creme on it and it relieves it for awhile and then its like it starts itching like crazy. Who would be the best person to see about this, a dermotologist. My wife says she thinks I have developed an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and told me not to take any today and call the doc tomorrow.

I also have to agree with david here in the sense that the 3 weeks post Tx for me have been the worse. I have been in the hospital twice and cant seem to get it all together. I sleep alot and cant stand that either. They have yet to find a sleeping pill or combination of two that will put me right to sleep. It usually takes me anywhere from 1-3 hours to fall asleep.
