"I have painful lumps.1 in jaw bone area, 1 on side of neck & 1 in back of neck," she wrote.

She further added,

"I have chills & a constant oily foul tasting drainage from face into mouth. It's acidic & is eating away at my teeth."

Despite these symptoms, she noted that doctors have told her she is "fine." Glanville has been going through this health issue for a long time now, spending a lot of money in search of treatment. Her struggle has led her to get help from celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, known for his work on the show Botched.

"I've been faking it, I'm f**king miserable. My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away."

"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," she shared.

Financial constraints forced her to consult doctors outside her insurance, though she mentioned that the doctors at Kaiser "had no clue." She added that she needed her "life to change," and that is her real life health update.

While her symptoms temporarily improved with few medications, they would worsen once she stopped taking them.
