Model Bella Hadid, born in Washington, D.C., United States, has shared an emotional update on her battle with Lyme disease, a condition she was diagnosed with in 2012. In a series of posts on Instagram, she expressed her gratitude for finally feeling healthy after "100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, [co-infection] treatment."

Hadid, who has been open about her health struggles, described her journey as "almost 15 years of invisible suffering." Despite her numerous blessings, privileges, opportunities, and love around her, she has struggled with feelings of sadness and sickness. However, she expressed pride in herself for not giving up on her health journey.

In the heartfelt posts, Hadid appeared hooked up to IVs and resting under blankets. She apologized for going MIA and expressed her love for her followers. Her posts received supportive comments from celebrities such as Gigi Hadid, her sister, and Brazilian actress Ísis Valverde, who wished her a swift recovery.

Yolanda Hadid, Bella's mother, referred to her daughter as a "Lyme warrior" in a comment on one of the posts. Lyme disease, typically transmitted through tick bites, can cause fever, fatigue, joint pain, and rashes. If left untreated, it can cause severe infections impacting the nervous system, heart, and joints, requiring hospitalization.

Hadid's health journey with Lyme disease has been challenging, but her resilience and determination are evident in her posts. She continues to inspire others with her courage and openness about her health struggles. As she continues her treatment, she remains hopeful and grateful for the support she has received from her loved ones and followers.
