DHEA is a medication with androgenic properties that can help to treat fibromyalgia. It's very unlikely to be the cause of a worsening pain from fibromyalgia -- but it's impossible to know what the cause is in your case without an evaluation. You can choose your own primary care doctor and schedule appointments for ongoing care with a doctor who knows you on HealthTap.
