Bella Hadid On Being Diagnosed With Lyme Disease
It was back in 2012 that the supermodel Bella Hadid was diagnosed with the tick-borne bacterial condition Lyme disease. The then-16-year-old had to give up her equestrian career as she faced major health setbacks. The condition has caused the model to be bedridden, hospitalized, and in need of IV drips often, over the years.
It was in 2020 that the young Hadid sister started to give insights into the troubles she faced due to the condition. She pointed out the symptoms she had to face on a daily basis. This included ‘difficulty walking’, ‘joint pain’, and ‘nausea’.
‘Basically, the nerve pain from my jaw ended up going down my entire meridian of my body, and to the touch, everywhere all the way down my body through all my lymph nodes. This pain, man. Something real different. Real different,’ the supermodel shared her pain in a recent Tiktok.
