“Good morning,” Glanville, 52 — who concealed half her face behind the camera — began in her video exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “I know doctors think I’m crazy and there’s nothing really wrong with me, nothing’s growing and it’s just another normal Sunday.”
Glanville then positioned the camera to show off her whole face, revealing a new growth visible on one side of her cheek.
“That’s why I today am heading to urgent care because there’s nothing wrong with me,” Glanville quipped. “Nothing’s growing. It’s in my head.”
Glanville, who has been dealing with an unknown medical condition for nearly two years, exclusively told Us that she’s spent thousands of dollars searching for answers.
“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point,” she explained, while promoting her “Remedy” single. “I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming.”
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum claimed that she’s spent more than $113,000 attempting to find a treatment outside of her health insurance plan. (Glanville alleged she has run through Kaiser’s covered options.)
“I just wanna find a doctor who makes it, like, his mission to help me,” Glanville said. “And not just me, [but] these other poor women who have been going through this for so long, and men, too. I’ve had a couple men reach out. I feel for them, like, I know exactly what they’re talking about and the pressure in their head, how they feel it’s gonna explode. … I’m at my wits’ end.”
Glanville has met with doctors, undergone CAT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds — and still has no definitive answers on “whatever’s living in [her] face.”
“It’s moving down my body, like, literally in my neck now moving on my left shoulder [and] down my arm,” she said. “I have to get up, I have to stretch, I have to get in a hot tub. I have a routine and it sucks.”
Glanville shared that she’s also been leaning on antibiotics and CellSound to feel better. “It’s an ultrasound therapy, it pisses off whatever’s going on there and it gives me reprieve from the pressure,” she said. “It’s been very helpful. And then I recently started with Dr. Joy Kong doing stem cells. And I did notice, like I had right after, immediately I had more energy.”
Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow’s husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, has been one of medical professionals who has offered to help Glanville get a diagnosis and has performed four biopsies on her.
Dubrow exclusively told Us in February that he’s “committed to helping” Glanville, adding, “I think once we get a diagnosis and we get a treatment plan, that we can get on the other side of it.” Dubrow, however, has had no answers for Glanville.
