Brandi Glanville, the 52-year-old former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently shared an update regarding her ongoing health challenges on social media platform X, expressing her distress over the lack of answers from medical professionals. On March 9, 2025, she opened up about the painful symptoms that have been plaguing her.
“I have painful lumps. 1 in jaw bone area, 1 on side of neck & 1 in back of neck,”she wrote.
In another post, she elaborated on her condition, stating:
“I have chills & a constant oily foul tasting drainage from face into mouth. It’s acidic & is eating away at my teeth.”
Despite experiencing these severe symptoms, Glanville mentioned that medical evaluations have concluded she is “fine.”This misalignment has frustrated her significantly, especially given her extensive financial investment in seeking treatment options. Recently, she has turned to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, known for his expertise showcased on Botched.
Brandi Glanville’s Ongoing Battle with Health Issues
On March 7, Glanville further disclosed her struggles, candidly admitting on X,
“I’ve been faking it, I’m f**king miserable. My face is worse than ever. It’s literally melted away.”
Her journey toward relief began at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors prescribed IV antibiotics and antifungal medication, resulting in some initial improvement:
“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 shared.
Due to financial limitations, she sought help from out-of-network doctors, but found limited success with the ones at Kaiser, stating they “had no clue.”Glanville expressed her desire for profound change in her life and stressed the urgency behind her health update.
After undergoing multiple biopsies with Dr. Dubrow, she received the news that there were “no cancer” cells detected, but she is still awaiting comprehensive diagnostic results. In the past year alone, Glanville has incurred expenses exceeding $70,000 in her quest for answers. She lamented,
“I don’t socialize. I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.”
Searching for Clarity Amidst Health Uncertainties
Throughout this tumultuous period, Glanville has expressed concern about a potential “parasite”troubling her face, describing sensations akin to “tiny bubbles bursting”beneath her skin:
“I feel like it’s s***ing or having babies in my face,”she shared.
While she has consulted numerous medical professionals, the path to a clear diagnosis has proven to be elusive.
“I’m not getting my hopes up anymore,”she said.
Glanville’s symptoms have shown temporary relief with medication, only to resurface once treatments ceased. Her health challenges have also taken a toll on her personal life, drastically limiting her social interactions. To complicate matters, she is supporting her best friend, who has been in the ICU for two weeks, adding to her emotional burden.
As she waits for biopsy results, Glanville remains resolute in her mission to uncover the source of her health problems, actively seeking both medical and emotional support.
