Brandi Glanville<\/a> is getting frustrated with doctors as she continues to deal with unexplained health issues.<\/p>\n During the Thursday, June 25, episode of her Unfiltered<\/em> podcast<\/a>, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em><\/a> alum, 53, opened up about her ongoing facial disfigurement and revealed that she hasn\u2019t been getting any updates from the doctors she\u2019s seen.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time and a dark time,\u201d she said. \u201cWe saw the doctor last week who told me I have tumors in my lymph nodes, benign… and then he never called me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to advocate for yourself,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut that was just such bulls— to me because I spent out of pocket, I went to all these doctors, I\u2019ve been on IV antibiotics, all this s— and I still don\u2019t have an explanation as to what is exactly wrong with me. And then this doctor not calling me after is like… okay and what?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cListen, I love doctors,” she continued. “I need you guys in my life. Please help me. But it\u2019s so frustrating because I feel like there\u2019s a lack of follow-through. I want more tests. Don\u2019t just send me for bloodwork.\u201d<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for <\/strong>PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Glanville previously shared on her podcast that she found out she has \u201ca benign tumor in one of my lymph nodes in my face,\u201d which was causing her facial disfigurement.<\/p>\n “That could be why the fluid is going around my face,\u201d she said on the June 18 episode. “Every doctor that I’ve shown, they’re like, \u2018It’s just scar tissue.’ I’m like, \u2018From what? I haven’t had a facelift yet.’ There’s a lot of dismissing that goes on in the medical field.\u201d<\/p>\n The TV personality said it\u2019s \u201cbeen a long three years\u201d dealing with her health, insisting she\u2019s ready for \u201ca glow-up.\u201d<\/p>\n Glanville\u2019s health struggles began in July 2023. At first she believed they were caused by something she ate while filming the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip<\/em><\/a> in Morocco. She later claimed that she could see and feel an unknown “parasite” moving within her face, saying it resembled \u201ctiny bubbles bursting\u201d on her skin.<\/p>\n
