Bella Hadid shares concerning picture of IV drip in her arm as she continues to battle Lyme Disease
Model Snapchats herself lying in bed battling the illness
MODEL Bella Hadid has shared an image of herself hooked up to an IV drip as she continues to suffer with Lyme Disease.
The 19-year-old who battles everyday can be seen lying in a bed attached to the machinery in the picture.
The busy model - who displayed her assets in a W Magazine shoot - recently spoke of her disease which she was diagnosed with in 2012 and how it affects her life.
She also shares the illness with her 52-year-old mother Yolanda and brother Anwar.
Yolanda, a former model and reality star, previously shared a picture of her sad-looking daughter in bed, again hooked up to a drip as she painstakingly watched her as they lay together side by side.
The former Real Housewife Of Beverly Hills star said of her family: “It is because of them that I continue to fight relentlessly.
“I will not allow them to live a life of pain and suffering."
And it’s not only a physical but a mental battle too.
She said of her own experience: “It affected my memory, so I suddenly wouldn’t remember how to drive to Santa Monica from Malibu where I lived.
“I will prevail and walk to the end of the earth to find a cure for them and millions of others debilitated by this invisible disease.”
Supermodel sister Gigi previously said of the disease: “I'm the only one of my siblings – including my mum - that hasn't been affected by Lyme disease.
"It's been really hard for me because I'm the only one that doesn't really understand it."
Meanwhile, her sister is equally busy being loved-up with Zayn Malik.
Fans went crazy as a picture emerged of the couple looking very much in love, as he looked adoringly at his supermodel girlfriend.
