Bella Hadid has candidly opened up about her battle with Lyme disease in an honest health update with her Instagram followers. On Sunday (6 August), the 26-year-old model shared a series of personal photos while speaking about her "almost 15 years of invisible suffering". The photos show doctor reports and Hadid during treatments including drips. She thanked her mother Yolanda Hadid for always being by her side, before launching into a lengthy caption detailing her experience. "Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain," Hadid wrote. "To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever. one thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay and you do not have to worry, and 2:I wouldn’t change anything for the world."
