See doctor: Consult your doctor to get an antiviral pill for the shingles asap. The drug is more effective when taken early in the course of the disease.

Concerns: Would handle many items ASAP. First, get shingles treated and then consider shingles vaccine. Since a live virus vaccine, no immune MS drugs for a month after. Would suggest then, start an MS disease modifying agent plus vitamin D supplements.
