Brandi Glanville <\/a>says she finally has a diagnosis for her ongoing health condition, which has led to facial disfigurement.<\/a><\/p>\n

For years now, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star<\/a> has been detailing her health struggles on social media, sharing candid photos of her disfigurement as she undergoes biopsies.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TMZ<\/a>, the 53-year-old confirmed she now has a diagnosis as of just a few days ago, which she will share \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a long road ahead of me to get fully better, but I finally have an answer, so I\u2019m just thrilled,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Asked what the process has been like on her lengthy health journey, the former model said: \u201cIt\u2019s been hell. I\u2019ve turned into an introvert. Leaving my house, I get the worst anxiety because I\u2019ve been in my house for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The update comes after the Bravo star admitted she\u2019s \u201cexhausted\u201d her savings trying to treat what doctors initially thought was a parasite in her face.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m paying the minimum on my credit cards,\u201d she told Us Weekly in August.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt my age, I feel like such a loser in a way, because I was taking care of everything,\u201d she said. \u201cI was together. I had great credit. Now I\u2019m scared about every little thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glanville estimated that she had spent at least $130,000 on her medical bills in the last two and a half years.<\/p>\n

In January, Glanville enlisted the help of Botched co-host Dr. Terry Dubrow <\/a>to help determine the cause of her condition after she was initially told it was a parasite in her face.<\/p>\n

The surgeon believed that her issues stemmed from \u201can infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she\u2019s had injected\u201d or a bacterial infection, he told TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In April, she was rushed to hospital after being unable to move her head and neck.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed,\u201d she told her followers on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called 911, had a lovely trip in the ambulance. Now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glanville has described the texture and feeling of her skin as having little \u201ctiny bubbles bursting\u201d. Touching or playing with her skin only makes the condition worse.<\/p>\n

Glanville has also said she\u2019s lost five teeth due to her condition.<\/p>\n

When asked what she thought triggered the illness, Glanville said she believed she had been infected by a previously undiscovered species of human ectoparasite during filming of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brandi Glanville says she finally has a diagnosis for her ongoing health condition, which has led to facial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[20163,49,48,145939,361,75,145940,5020,12279],"class_list":["post-331273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-brandi-glanville","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-candid-photos","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-facial-disfigurement","tag-real-housewives","tag-tmz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
