Default Shingles and MS

I went to the doctor today only to find out I have shingles! (a small patch of 6 bumps under my armpit)

I'm on Tysabri and get my infusion every 8 weeks. My last infusion was November 10 so I am assuming I have plenty of time to recover. The doc gave me Valtrex.

Is there anything in particular I should know about MS and shingles? Any suggestions on how to manage? Anything "natural" to use along with the Valtrex?

I have never had shingles and am not a happy camper right now.

Thanks for any help you can give!!
