I can confirm that it should be a good idea to get the vaccine. Many years ago, I had shingles and it was a great torture for a few months, until the pain faded away. It was almost impossible to sleep, which made everything worse than just because of the pain. The antiviral treatment that I had started promptly had a very obvious effect, but even with that a very long time passed until the pain gradually decreased so much as to be no longer felt.
