Good evening, I would highly suggest you get a shingles vaccine. I did and it worked very well for me. And I was in my early 70's when it hit me. But if you can't get one right now having a compress of yarrow may help if you can't make a cream or ointment of cannabis, myrrh and frankincense mixture. These are the biblical ingredients best suited for most viral diseases. Also, they are antibacterial and antiseptic. Good luck.
