Yolanda Hadid used her Instagram platform to share how seeing her daughter, Bella Hadid, suffer due to her battle with Lyme disease makes her feel “hopeless.”
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star left a lengthy message about Lyme disease and how it affects Bella.
Yolanda’s history with Lyme:
“🩷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,” explained the supermodel’s mom. “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. I needed an energetic shift, time to focus on my healing rather than absorb other people’s opinions about my journey.”
“Even so, I am the CEO of my health. After fifteen years of searching the globe, I am still determined to find a cure affordable for all. Hopefully, soon I will share whatever we have learned and the places we have been with you and our Lyme community as soon as lab results reflect our victory.”
To my beautiful Bellita:
Yolanda posted a message to remind Bella, “You are relentless and courageous. No child is supposed 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.”
“You have fought through another month of treatment and I know god is good, miracles do happen everyday 🙏 I pray for your speedy recovery, my love.”
“This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always get back up. We will continue to fight for better days, together.”
“You are a survivor… I love you so much, my badass Warrior.”
