Bella Hadid Thanks Fans For Support After Tearful Health Updates: ‘Truly Grateful’

Bella Hadid is speaking out after she opened up to her followers about living with a chronic illness. On Thursday, June 25, the model posted several stories on Instagram in which she shared personal details about a recent flare up related to her Lyme disease, including a tearful selfie. “Haven’t been able to shake off this flare up…Slept 11 hours. Again…Nap everyday. Took every protocol from any and every doctor I’ve seen. Still nothing helping. IFYKY. Now I’ve diagnosed myself with 12 other things so that’s good,” she wrote on top of the picture in part, adding, “I took a shower without fainting tho… so again, if you know you know… that felt like a really big accomplishment for me today so maybe someone can send me a cookie or something.” The following day, on Friday, June 26 the 29-year-old posted an update in which she thanked her followers for their messages of support. “Hi I’m sorry if I worried anyone. I know it sounds jarring but in full truth its my reality so its something I’m able to cope with to a capacity now. I’m sorry if I startled anyone,” she wrote in part, adding, “Every day is a new day and tomorrow I’m hoping for, God Willing, a better one. I love you guys so much thank you for all your support. I wasn’t expecting it, but I’m truly grateful. I love you guys so much.”
