December 8th 2024.
Former model and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Brandi Glanville, recently took to social media to share a candid update on her health. The 52-year-old TV personality shared a new selfie, revealing the devastating reality of her stress-provoked angioedema, a skin condition she was diagnosed with last year.
In the photo, Brandi can be seen with sunken cheeks, looking almost unrecognizable compared to her usual self. Alongside the picture, she wrote, "Sick it!" This is not the first time she has shared her struggles with the condition, as she previously posted a photo of her face during a flare-up. However, this is the first time she has shown what it looks like when the swelling goes down.
Angioedema, as described by the NHS, is a condition that causes swelling in the deeper layers of the skin due to a build-up of fluid. It most commonly affects areas such as the eyes, lips, genitals, hands, and feet. Brandi first revealed her diagnosis in August last year and has been open about her journey since then.
In a recent interview, Brandi opened up about her health issues, saying, "Stress will kill you." She emphasized the importance of taking care of oneself and thanked Bravo for their support. She also mentioned how her condition has affected her ability to work and enjoy life.
Brandi's symptoms first started after her co-star from Real Housewives of New Jersey, Caroline Manzo, made allegations of sexual misconduct towards her. Brandi claims that the stress from this incident triggered her angioedema. She told Entertainment Tonight, "I've had some health issues that have affected my ability to talk, my ability to taste food, my face basically would swell up, like I would have anaphylactic shock, go into anaphylactic shock constantly."
The former model also revealed that she has experienced lip and face flare-ups, which have resulted in anaphylactic shock. In one instance, her son had to call an ambulance to get urgent medical attention. Brandi has two sons, Mason and Jake, but it is unclear which one called for help.
Recalling a terrifying moment, Brandi said that she was on the phone with Andy Cohen when she received some "disappointing news" that was difficult for her to process. The stress from this incident caused her eyes and hands to swell, and she had to be hospitalized for two days. Brandi continued to say that her condition has affected every aspect of her life, and she doesn't feel or look the same as she used to.
