Brandi Glanville’s Face Shakes Uncontrollably As She Battles Parasite – Her Health Struggle Gets Worse!
Brandi Glanville is pulling back the curtain on her ongoing battle with a mysterious facial parasite that has left her disfigured, and she’s turning to social media to keep her followers updated.
On January 30, the former *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star shared a video of herself using a lymphatic drainage machine to help manage the parasite that has plagued her for the past year.
“I’m on my emphatic [sic] drainage machine,” Glanville wrote alongside the video, showing her face shaking from the machine’s vibrations. The machine is designed to relieve pain, stimulate fluid movement, and prevent diseases from worsening, but for Glanville, it’s part of an exhausting journey to get answers. She added, “@DrDubrow let’s get this f–ker🙏,” tagging Dr. Terry Dubrow, who has been helping her investigate the cause of her health issues.
Past Health Scare and Current Struggles
In the post, Glanville also reflected on another health scare from five years ago, when she and her two sons, Mason (21) and Jake (17), experienced black mold poisoning from a toxic house. She revealed that they were awarded a “six-figure settlement” for the incident but expressed that what she’s dealing with now seems even more severe. “This is CRAZY!” she wrote, sharing her frustration with her ongoing struggle.

Fans quickly flooded her comments with messages of support, with one writing, “Girl I’m absolutely horrified for you. Sending prayers & well wishes.” Another fan commented, “Brandi this is so sad and so scary. I’m so sorry.”
Ongoing Health Battle and Clarifications
Glanville has been very open about the toll this mystery illness has taken on her life. The reality star, who has been documenting her journey for months, explained that she has spent over $70,000 on treatments in an attempt to get to the bottom of her condition. She also shared that the illness has caused her to retreat from dating and public appearances.
“I’ve had IV antibiotics at my house every day for six weeks,” she told *Entertainment Tonight* in December, addressing the misconception that her facial disfigurement was caused by botched cosmetic surgery. “They sent me to have my face checked – maybe old filler. So, that was all dissolved, even though I was like, ‘You’re dissolving my actual skin now because I haven’t had filler in a long time,’” she added.
Dr. Dubrow Steps In
After seeing Glanville’s public health battle, Dr. Terry Dubrow stepped in to help, offering guidance and conducting thorough tests. He called her facial condition a “ticking time bomb” and suggested that there could be a microorganism in her skin or bloodstream. Glanville has welcomed his advice, saying on social media, “I have zero drama with @DrDubrow. I appreciate all the help I can get🙏.” She also reassured her followers that all the fillers in her face have been dissolved, and she’s seen top doctors, including those at Cedars-Sinai.
Despite the setbacks, Glanville is determined to keep pushing forward. She concluded, “We have been in touch and plan to talk. Thank you for all the love. All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at Cedars-Sinai & all the doctors they referred me to💕.”
As she continues her journey to heal, Brandi’s followers remain by her side, sending their well-wishes and keeping their fingers crossed for her full recovery.
