Bella Hadid shares vulnerable photos from hospital bed amid health battle

Bella Hadid has shared a vulnerable insight into her health journey with Lyme disease.

The model has shared a series of photos of herself in what appears to be a hospital room, as she undergoes a series of undisclosed medical treatments.

In one of the photos, she can be seen attached to an IV and an oxygen mask as she lies in bed.

In another she lies in bed with a bag of ice on her forehead.

She also posted a selfie in which she appears flushed as if she had just been crying.

Another photo shows the model sitting on the floor on an elevator, seemingly keeled over in pain.

The concerning photos were posted among several other photos including a snap of some flowers, a rainbow, a deck of cards and the view out her window.

"I'm sorry I always go MIA I love you guys," she wrote in the caption of her post.

The 28-year-old has said she has been living with Lyme disease, a tick bite-associated illness, for over a decade.

Her sister Gigi Hadid was quick to comment with a message of support.

"I love you! I hope you feel as strong and good as u deserve, soon!!!!!!" she wrote.

Her mum Yolanda Hadid also commenting, calling her daughter a "Lyme warrior".

Hadid didn't specify any details about her illness in her new post but opened up about her health in a similar post in 2023.

She wrote a lengthy message on Instagram where she said she's "finally healthy" after more than a decade of health struggles, including what she claims was "100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, [co-infection] treatment".

"The little me that suffered would be so proud of grown me for not giving up on myself," Hadid wrote in the post, before thanking her mother Yolanda Hadid for her support.

"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," she continued.

"To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever."

Lyme disease, according to the Australian Government's Department of Health and Aged Care, is a tick bite-associated illness found in the United Kingdom, United States and Asia.

Although it can be contracted overseas, the Federal Government does not support diagnoses of Australian-acquired Lyme disease due to the type of bacteria associated with the disease not being found in the country.

Chronic Lyme disease, meanwhile, is rejected in general by medical professionals worldwide due to a lack of evidence of its existence.
