Brandi Glanville Says Health Issues Have Wiped Out Her Social Life

Brandi Glanville says her ongoing health battle has left her pretty much living like a recluse ... telling TMZ she barely sees anyone besides her kids.

The 'RHOBH' alum sat down with Towanda and said she isolated herself over the past few years, even from friends who were trying to check in on her.

Brandi says she'd stop answering calls and texts because she never had any new answers about what was going on with her health ... and says some friends thought she was just depressed because they didn't believe something physical was wrong.

These days, she says she only really socializes with her kids, who come over to see her, and otherwise she's home "all day, every day."
