Brandi Glanville gave an update on how she plans to treat the symptoms of her suspected parasitic infection, which may have caused her facial disfigurement.

Brandi Glanville detailed how her struggle with facial disfigurement, which she believes is caused by a parasitic infection, has affected her.

On Friday, the reality star, 52, revealed during an interview with Page Six. Virtual Real Tea podcast that the ordeal has made it difficult for him to hold his head up at times.

‘It’s hard to hide during Christmas when everyone is celebrating their holidays. It’s depressing. “It just hurts my brain and my heart,” he explained.

The mother-of-two continued: ‘The pain is more mental than anything else, because I have been hiding and going through very, very deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this moment, I couldn’t. So it’s been a very tough two years for me.”

At this moment, she has returned to taking antibiotics after noticing his face was starting to “sink” while taking a break from the medication.

“I prefer (my face) when it’s a little puffy, to be honest,” she explained. ‘When it’s only swollen on one side, it’s not good at all. But this sinking thing is slowly killing me, because I feel like I look like a crack addict.

He even revealed that he sometimes wears a ‘mask’ around his two sons, Mason Edward, 21, and Jake Austin, 17, so they don’t have to see his ‘scary’ face.

“They were trying to calm me down and tell me that I look normal and fine, but I knew that wasn’t the case,” he recalled. ‘Honestly, I scared them a couple of times. They said, “What’s going on?” (My face) went from being really fat and swollen to now, like, sagging.’

At this point, he noted that he wants an answer “so desperately” about his condition and that he doesn’t “know” if there is a parasite on his face or what is causing his symptoms.

“You could do whatever you want to me and that’s fine with me,” he said. ‘I’ve had days where I look normal, not weeks. Desire. But it comes and goes.

Glanville stated that over the weekend, “the right side of” his face was so swollen that it looked like he “had a very large meatball on the right side” of his cheek.

“Whenever I get chills, it’s usually an infection,” he continued. ‘Then I start feeling ticking in my ear, and then whatever was on my face, it moved, it started moving again. And it starts to sink in again.’

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills alum, who previously revealed she had been diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema, shared a photo last week in which she looked unrecognizable, particularly due to her deflated, mottled cheeks.

Months earlier, she had the opposite problem when she shared a photo of herself with significantly swollen cheeks.

On Friday, the reality star, 52, revealed during an interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast that she is back on antibiotics.

Dr. Dubrow had told TMZ last week that he didn’t believe it was a ‘parasite,’ but instead thought his misshapen skin and sunken cheeks were more likely the result of an infection.

The plastic surgeon emphasized that Glanville’s condition could be a “time bomb” and urged her to seek help from her doctors as soon as possible.

The cosmetic surgeon, who is married to Real Housewives Of Orange County star Heather Dubrow, said he was “concerned” that Glanville might be suffering from an “infectious process” or a “foreign body reaction to something she had been injected with.” “.

Dubrow also clarified that it is not Glanville’s “fault” for not being sure what ails her and instead blamed her doctor for not having a solid diagnosis and treatment plan.

However, he seemed pretty sure that what was happening to her was “not a parasite” and “not coming from something she ate.”

Instead, he suggested the problem is “something that got into your bloodstream and planted some foreign body.”

Surprisingly, Dubrow even thought it was possible that Glanville could be ahead of his doctors, as he said they might be right that he might need surgery.

He noted that it could have been infected with mycobacteria or fungi, which could be “very difficult to treat.”

Also on Friday, Brandi shot down any rumors that she and Dubrow were fighting after he expressed concern about her face.

Dubrow seemed particularly concerned when he said Glanville’s condition was “like a ticking time bomb” because the potential damage could become increasingly severe in a short period of time.

She added that antibiotic treatments for mycobacteria or fungi could take six to 12 months, so it would be essential for her to get a solid diagnosis and possibly a skin sample to determine what she is suffering from.

Dubrow concluded the interview by offering his services and those of his Botched co-stars.

A day later, Brandi shot down any rumors that she and Dr. Dubrow were fighting, explaining on X that they had already been “in touch.”

‘I have no drama with @DrDubrow. I appreciate all the help I can get. We’ve been in touch and plan to talk thanks for all the love.’

She then revealed to her followers: ‘All the fillers that were in my face have dissolved. I’ve seen the best doctors at Cedar Sinai, and all the doctors they referred me to.’

The cover girl also spoke with Entertainment tonightBrice Sander on his recent problem with his face.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills veteran told Brice she thought it could be a possible facial parasite from Mexico.

During the time of the interview, the ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian said that she is treating him with a ‘cell sound procedure’ and the help of Dr. Nicholas Nikolov.

Earlier, he claimed to have stress-induced angioedema and said he had lost five teeth.

‘I’ve been taking medication all this year. I don’t socialize. “I don’t go out and just spend all my money trying to figure out what’s wrong with me, over $70,000,” he told ET.

Glanville has been going to the hospital to see various doctors.

‘Honestly, I have so many doctors and they’ve done so many tests on me… I did $10,000 worth of lab work. I did all the tests possible… They say it could be a parasite that, you know, is new.’

Brandi thinks she knows how she contracted the possible parasite.

‘I mean, we had food out for hours and some of it was meat. In Morocco,” he offered.

“Six months after I came back from (filming in) Morocco, I started having this talking thing and bloating, it started in July and we’re still here trying to figure it out.”

Earlier this month, she shared an image of her puffy summer complexion.

She wrote on X: ‘What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in and out of the hospital this year and a half. I spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out.

‘Some doctors say I have a parasite crawling on my face. Some say it is stress-induced edema. I personally say he’s Bravo.’

Earlier this year, Brandi took to Twitter to blame the network for her “stress-induced angioedema” which she said had left her unable to work.

She wrote on X: ‘I read that I was not punished for the false accusations in Morocco. Um, they fired me, kicked me off the cast, and kept me hostage in a hotel in Morocco for days! The cast took my side and didn’t want to continue without me.

Due to false bad press, I had all my jobs cancelled.

“I have no choice but to sue Bravo. I have 4 days worth of receipts. This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress-induced angioedema. I haven’t worked for a year and a half. I’m too depressed to do my podcast until I’m swollen .4cameo or DE. I’M BEING USED LIKE FALLGUY.

‘I DESPERATELY WANT TO TWEET ALL MY RECEIPTS BUT MY LAWYERS WON’T LET ME. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR SUPPORT MORE THAN YOU KNOW. MY MOROCCO CAST HAS BEEN SO AMAZING AND SUPPORTIVE I LOVE THOSE GIRLS! (sic)’
