Yes, you can get Shingles more than once:

You can also just get the pain event without the rash/vesicles.
I have seen people online with severe pain, use an antiviral orally and the pain fades.

The Herpes Zoster virus lives in your nerve tissue for life. It can erupt anytime arginine is in excess (from diet or supplements), when lysine is low, or when the immune system is depressed.
