“The medications you are taking now might relieve some of your symptoms, but will they make you well? Some people with fibromyalgia have a chronic PROGRESSIVE illness, so despite the medication treating the symptoms, your illness may gradually worsen. Learn how to stop simply masking your symptoms and instead, learn how to REVERSE them.”
— Dr. Congdon
“I LOVED Dr. Congdon. She was very caring and attentive as well as being a knowledgeable professional. She was thorough and she studied all of the info I emailed prior to the visit,…and even did some research on the weekend. She is a wonderful doctor and I recommend a visit to her.” Ms. Merle S., Fibromyalgia Patient
