Bella Hadid has been taken to hospital while fighting a chronic disease. The supermodel posted images of her hospital stay on Instagram, which showed her connected to IV drips on Wednesday 17th September with the caption: “I’m sorry, I always go MIA. I love you guys.” Several snaps showed the 28-year-old attached to medical tubing and breathing apparatus. Bella didn’t elaborate on the specific reason behind her hospital admission. The model received her Lyme disease diagnosis more than ten years ago, which is a tick-borne infection that can develop into a chronic condition without proper treatment, causing persistent fatigue and symptoms comparable to fibromyalgia. Her mother Yolanda Hadid responded to Bella’s post and wrote: “Lyme warrior,” reports the Mirror . She also shared her own social media post featuring a collection of hospital photographs of her daughter. In the caption she wrote: “As you will understand, watching my Bella struggle in silence has cut the deepest core of hopelessness inside me. The invisible disability of chronic neurological Lyme disease is hard to explain or understand for anyone.” “I try to lead by example on our Lyme journey, but my own pain cannot compare to watching my baby suffer. After many years I stopped sharing my personal story because I needed an energetic shift, time to focus on my healing rather than absorb other people’s opinions about my journey.” “To my beautiful Bellita: You are relentless and courageous. No child is suppose to suffer in their body with an incurable chronic disease. I admire your bravery and your willingness to keep fighting for health despite the failing protocols and countless setbacks you have faced.” “There simply aren’t words big enough for the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell you’ve lived through since your diagnosis in 2013. You didn’t really live, you learned how to exist inside the jail of your own paralyzed brain. I am so proud of the fighter that you are. You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes.” Have you joined Threads?
