Brandi Glanville is desperate for answers as she continues to deal with problems involving her facial disfiguration.
On March 8, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum posted a health update on X, formerly Twitter. The 52-year-old revealed the slew of symptoms she’s experienced from suspected face “parasites.”
“I have painful lumps,” she wrote. “1 in jaw bone area, 1on side of neck & 1in back of neck.”
“I have chills & a constant oily foul tasting drainage from face into mouth. It's acidic & is eating away at my teeth,” she continued. “Plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen. Drs at Kaiser say I'm fine :/ HELP ME.”
Glanville has mentioned numerous times that doctors have been unable to figure out the cause of her health woes.
On March 6, she admitted that she hasn’t been doing well lately.
“I've been faking it, I'm f—ing miserable,” she said. “My best friend's been in the ICU for 2 weeks & isn't getting better. My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away.”
“When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better. I looked normal but I couldn't afford to stay on them,” she added. “I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real life health update.”
Glanville recently turned to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow for help, getting neck and face biopsies from the Botched star. She said “no cancer” was found but she’s still waiting for the full results, which can take up to six weeks.
Dubrow, 66, praised the reality star for her bravery throughout the process and said he’s determined to help figure out the source of her health struggles.
Back in December, Glanville revealed that she spent “over $70,000” trying to find a resolution to the unknown “parasite” that led to her facial disfigurement over the past year.
However, every treatment has only been a temporary fix.
“I’ve been on meds this whole year. I don’t socialize,” she said. “I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.”
Glanville explained that she can see and feel the unknown "parasite" move within her face if she "messes with it," and it looks like “tiny bubbles bursting” on her skin. "I feel like it’s s---ing or having babies in my face," she added.
After visiting countless doctors, she said, “I’m not getting my hopes up anymore.”
