\n\tBrandi Glanville<\/a> is giving fans an unfiltered look at her daily medical treatments to treat what she calls a facial parasite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 53-year-old podcast host shared a series of Instagram videos<\/a> over the weekend to explain the daily reality of managing her facial swelling. She revealed that her current treatment plan requires 18 hours of IV infusions every single day.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI haven\u2019t been ready to talk about all of it publicly, and there\u2019s still a lot I\u2019m not ready to share yet,\u201d Glanville captioned one of the videos. She followed that up with a breaking update<\/a> on Tuesday in which she lists her confirmed medical diagnoses for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tA Frightening Ultrasound\u00a0\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tThe former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em><\/a> star recently underwent an ultrasound to investigate the swelling on the left side of her face. She told her followers<\/a> the technician and radiologist both saw \u201csomething alive\u201d that \u201cwas moving\u201d beneath her skin. (Could you even imagine?!)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGlanville returned to Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday with a concrete list of ailments. She listed diagnoses of a highly resistant bacterium, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis, and Mononucleosis. She also shared that doctors found a \u201cfungal ball\u201d in her face that requires surgical removal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe treatment has NOT been easy, and so far I\u2019ve had very little improvement,\u201d she wrote in the caption. \u201cI still have a couple surgeries ahead of me and months of treatment to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tA Costly and Exhausting Battle\u00a0\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tGlanville said her symptoms first began in July 2023. She initially believed that she contracted a bug while filming the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip<\/em><\/a> in Morocco. She later discovered that an infection from \u201ccompletely ruptured\u201d silicone breast implants had clogged her lymph nodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had silicone all over my lymph nodes,\u201d Glanville told TMZ<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s what caused the infection in my face; it couldn\u2019t get out as my lymph nodes were all clogged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA Beverly Hills plastic surgeon removed her 18-year-old implants<\/a> and replaced them with new ones in February 2026. However, her latest update clarified that she will need surgery again to remove those replacement implants and additional metals from old dental work. It took 21 different doctors (and $200,000<\/a>) to reach these answers, and the financial strain continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEven with insurance, this is costing me around $3,300\u2013$6,000 a month,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m not able to work right now other than my podcast, and I honestly don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to do this mentally or financially<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
