Brandi Glanville rushed to hospital amid health issues after being unable to move her head and neck
Real Housewives alum Brandi Glanville was rushed to the hospital after being unable to move her head and neck earlier this week.
Glanville is currently in the midst of an unknown health condition, which has led to facial disfigurement.
The 52-year-old told her followers about the latest incident on X on Tuesday, writing, 'My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed.
'I called 911, had a lovely trip in the ambulance. Now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.'
Glanville, who has been battling health issues for years now, followed up her original post with a picture of an IV in her arm and a snapshot of her hospital bill.
'I hate this place but should be another fun ambulance bill,' she wrote in the caption.
On Thursday, she confirmed she was discharged from the hospital.
She said: 'Hey kitty kats fresh off yesterdays ER VISIT Ive decided to go live on IG with my future daughter in law & fellow Irishman Sarah D on IG live tonight at 6:30 p.m. to talk about our eBay shop.'
Glanville's hospital visit comes a year after the on-screen star revealed she'd spent $70,000 trying to treat what doctors initially thought was a parasite in her face that led to severe disfigurement.
At the time, she told Entertainment Tonight: 'Honestly, I have so many doctors and I've had so many tests. I did lab work for $10,000. They ran every test under the sun. They're like, 'It could be a parasite that's new.'
'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize,' she said. 'I don't go out and I'm just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what's wrong with me.'
In January, Glanville said she tapped Botched co-host Dr. Terry Dubrow to help determine the cause of her condition after her other doctors were unsuccessful.
Dr. Dubrow took four 'tiny biopsies' from her face and her neck, which led him to believe the disfigurement was caused by 'an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she's had injected.'
He told TMZ: 'There are these two kinds of microorganisms, one's called a Microbacterium and the other is called a fungus, and they can be very difficult to treat and could take six to 12 months of antibiotics to treat.
'Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it,' he continued. 'It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules.'
Even with Dr. Dubrow's diagnosis, Glanville's condition worsened. In March, she told her followers her face was 'worse than ever.'
She took to X over the weekend to share how her facial lumps have been excreting liquid that is oozing down to her teeth.
'I have painful lumps ... in jaw bone area on side of neck & in back of neck. I have chills & constant oily fowl [sic] tasting drainage from face into mouth it's acidic & is eating away at my teeth plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen,' she wrote.
She also wrote: 'I've been faking it. I'm f***ing miserable. My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away.'
Glanville added: 'When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better I looked normal but I couldn't afford to stay on them. I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real life health update.'

2 Michigan residents with measles exposed others to virus in Kent, Oakland counties
Two new measles cases were reported in Michigan on the evening of June 6 — one in an Allegan County resident who exposed others to the highly contagious virus at three sites in Kent County from June 2-4, and a Macomb County resident who exposed others June 3 at a medical office building in Rochester Hills. Because measles can remain infectious in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the room, the Allegan County Health Department said anyone who was at the following locations at these dates and times may have been exposed: Coachmen Strength & Conditioning, 7780 Clyde Park Ave. SW, Byron Center: 6:30-9:30 p.m. June 2. University of Michigan Health West, 5900 Byron Center Ave. SW, Wyoming: 2:18-5:02 a.m. June 4. University of Michigan Health West, Southwest Health Center, 2215 44th St. SW, Wyoming: 11:46 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. June 4. The Macomb County resident exposed others to measles 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. June 3 at a medical office building at 3950 S. Rochester Road in Rochester Hills, according to the Oakland County Health Division. Several business list 3950 S. Rochester Road as their address. Among them are: Henry Ford Reproductive Medicine — Rochester Hills Michigan Rheumatology and Wellness Center Superior Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Oakland-Macomb Cancer Specialists Integrative Family Care Zetu Periodontics Abaris Behavioral Health Oakland County spokesperson Bill Mullan said anyone who visited any of the offices within the building during the exposure times on June 3 should "err on the side of caution" and consider themselves exposed. State and county health leaders say anyone who may have been exposed to measles should monitor for symptoms for 21 days. If they develop symptoms, call ahead before seeking medical attention to avoid exposing others. For people who were exposed and are at high-risk for severe illness from a measles infection, immune globulin (IG) treatment may be an option. However, it is effective in preventing or reducing severe disease only if it is given within the first six days after exposure to the virus. Call your medical provider, pharmacy or the county health department if you believe you were exposed and might be eligible for IG treatment. The Allegan County Health Department can be reached 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at 269-673-5411. If it is after office hours, Kent County residents also can call 2-1-1. The Oakland County Health Division's Nurse on Call can be reached 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at 800-848-5533 or by email at noc@ People considered high-risk for servere disease from measles include those who are pregnant, unvaccinated children under age 5 and people who have a weakened immune systems because of such underlying conditions as diabetes, HIV, malnutrition and/or because they take immune-suppressing medications. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, measles symptoms typically start within 7-14 days after exposure, but also have been known to appear as long as 21 days post exposure and can include: Fever, which may rise above 104 degrees. Respiratory symptoms such as runny nose, cough. Red, watery eyes that can develop into pink eye or conjunctivitis. Two to three days after symptoms begin, tiny white spots, known as Koplik spots, may develop on the inner cheeks, gums and roof of the mouth. Three to five days after symptoms begin, a rash that is red, raised and blotchy appears. It usually begins on the face and spreads to trunk, arms and legs. Measles can cause serious illness, long-term disability and death in people of all ages. As of June 5, the CDC confirmed 1,168 measles cases in 33 states in 2025. Of them, 137 people — 12% of those infected this year — have been hospitalized, and three people have died. In Michigan this year, there have been 12 confirmed cases of measles in the following counties: Allegan, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, Montcalm, Ingham and Marquette. More: What are the symptoms of measles? And other answers to common questions. More: Born between 1957-1989? You may not be protected from measles outbreak The best way to avoid measles infection is to get vaccinated, health officials say. About 95% of the people who've had confirmed measles cases in the U.S. this year were either unvaccinated or thier vaccination status was unknown, the CDC reported. One dose of the measles, mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine provides about 93% protection against the virus, and two doses offer about 97% coverage, the CDC says. It recommends the following for MMR vaccines: A first dose for children at 12 months-15 months old, with a booster dose administered between ages 4 and 6. Anyone born during or after 1957 without evidence of immunity against measles or documentation of having been vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine should get vaccinated. People exposed to measles who cannot document immunity against the virus should get post-exposure prophylaxis — a dose of the vaccine to potentially provide protection within 72 hours of initial exposure, or immunoglobulin within six days of exposure. The CDC changed its recommendations in 1989 from one dose of the MMR vaccine to two doses, which provides longer-lasting and more robust protection. People born between 1957 and 1989 who have had just a single dose of the vaccine may be at a higher risk of contracting the virus in an outbreak setting. Many medical providers and pharmacies have it available. In addition, local health departments often can provide the MMR vaccine. In Oakland County: Health division immunization clinic hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesdays, and 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursdays at the following locations: North Oakland Health Center, 1200 N.
