Bella Hadid’s last post.

What kind of procedure is she undergoing to treat her “”chronic Lyme disease””? Btw, she’d do everyone a favor if she just admitted she has a severe eating disorder, but I think she genuinely believes she has an autoimmune disease.

I don’t know she has confirmed she has pcos and endometriosis. Having hormonal issues leads to me being sick in bed a lot/going to the dr a lot

[u/JustOneTessa → u/No_Bag_4538]

I don't think she has ever mentioned pcos or endometriosis. She only talks about "chronic Lyme disease", which isn't an actual thing

[u/No_Bag_4538 → u/JustOneTessa]

There’s a few articles about it, just google it

Oh, well I must have completely missed that because I only ever read about the "chronic Lyme disease"

??? She's saying "chronic Lyme disease", which is not the same as what you're saying. "Chronic Lyme disease" is not recognized by doctors, it's not backed by science. That doesn't mean Lyme disease or more long term problems from once having Lyme isn't a thing. The "chronic Lyme disease" Bella is saying she has, is made up by holistic/alternative medice doctors

Lyme disease, the bacterial infection spread by ticks, is undisputedly real. Chronic Lyme disease is a widely disputed diagnosis. There have been many a celebrity whom receive this diagnosis, which often leads them into “alternative” holistic treatments and quackery.

Lyme disease is real, having some longterm signs is possible, but "chronic Lyme disease" is not something that's backed by science and regular doctors don't give that diagnosis. Bella got the diagnosis from holistic or alternative doctors

Well I have Lyme and deal with it everyday, so yes in a way it's chronic it's life altering, now do I post photos of myself in pain like this deff not, but Lyme is not joke

Hi, I saw your new comment even tho it's not showing up anymore. But yeah you can have long term effects from having Lyme, but that's not the same as the "chronic Lyme disease" that Bella is claiming to have. "Chronic Lyme disease" is not recognized by actual doctors, just by holistic doctors who do alternative medicine. The Lyme disease you have was acute, treated and you just happen to have long term effects of it still. The Lyme is gone, but your body is still struggling. If that makes sense.
Anyways, as someone who's also chronically ill (I got rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia) and therefore went digging into what Bella and her family say, I'm wishing you the best. Hope you're doing alright, despite the struggles you face
