How much money would you spend to solve a medical mystery? For Brandi Glanville, the bill keeps racking up as she tries to figure out the cause of her facial disfigurement.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been navigating a myriad of health issues over the last year. According to her, it all started after filming the ill-fated Morocco season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
Brandi’s medical issues are causing a financial crisis
Brandi recently spoke with Entertainment Tonight in a candid interview about her complicated health journey. She explained that after conducting various tests with a wide range of medical professionals, their latest theory is that a parasite made a home inside of her face.
“They sent me to have my face checked — maybe old filler,” Brandi recalled of the testing process.
Throughout this ordeal, Brandi said she spent over $70,000 on medical treatments and tests. That money has gone towards multiple appointments with an immunologist and an infectious disease doctor. She’s tried ivermectin. She’s covered all of her bases.
“I’ve had IV antibiotics at my house every day for six weeks,” Brandi explained, before adding that she’s been “on meds” all year.
For Brandi, the medical bills are all starting to add up, and the fact that she can’t work is making it worse. She told the outlet that she missed out on multiple job opportunities because of this whole fiasco.
“With not working as well for the past two years, I’m stressed,” she confessed.
“I don’t socialize,” Brandi continued. “I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.”
