The cool packs sound like the quickest relief.
I have a neuropathic itch and mild pain following shingles.
Icy Hot topical with menthol and xylocaine helps.
Worth checking blood pressure during an attack.
Agree it’s worth having your doctor checking some
lab.

I experienced a severe case of shingles that put me in the hospital on a morphine pump. If that wasn't bad enough, it was followed by painful post-herpetic neuralgia. Gabapentin completely took away the pain. If you haven't tried it, you should discuss it with your doctor. It is now standard for neuralgia caused by shingles, I understand.
