Recently, overnight I developed a very swollen upper lip. I did suspect shingles having suffered it before on my face. I rang the surgery and the receptionist was very helpful and after agreeing that I needed to be seen speedily she said a doctor would probably ring me within the hour. ten minutes later I was speaking to Dr Nambi who asked if I could make a 9.30am appointment which I did. He confirmed shingles, prescribed treatment and I was soon home again. Having received such prompt treatment, the swellings have already subsided after only 3 days and I look fairly normal again. After my previous experience of shingles, for which I did not seek immediate help, I learned the hard way that quick treatment is essential. I could not have had faster treatment this time.
