This is fucking painful, scratch open the blisters and clean with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Definitely speeds up healing. Also works for poison ivy.
My mother went through a really bad bout of shingles - she's still recovering.
It was brutal. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. The doc had her on a morphine medication during the worst time.
I remember when my youngest contracted Chicken Pox a few years ago, it was unpleasant but thankfully he was not in any great pain however when my Mother & Mother In-Law were hit with Shingles, it was particularly nasty.
Nothing much you can other than ride it out bro. I had it a few years back and it knocked me for six for a few weeks. Really made you feel low too... not nice
