I had the dreading shingles at 62,one side of face and down left arm. Serious pain! Could not sleep,and after 36 hours of no sleep,gave up trying to sleep,watched daytime T.V.(in the U.K.),and slowly drank a full bottle of Jack Daniels. Slept like a baby for about 15 hours when the bottle was finished. Woke up and the shingles was gone. Can't promise it will work for you,but not an unpleasant medical trial.
