Bella Hadid poses for selfies at the hospital while hooked up to an IV as she gives a glimpse into the fight against Lyme disease

Bella Hadid was the epitome of zen in her latest Instagram photo dump, giving her followers another update during her health hiatus.

The statuesque model recently spoke candidly to her millions of followers about her battle with Lyme disease, writing how she would return to modeling when she was ready.

In her latest photos, the 26-year-old stunner showed no makeup, shared snaps of her IV treatments and cuddled up with her trusty pup, Glizzy P. Beans.

In another photo, the runway model closed her eyes and smiled as a close friend laughed beside her.

Wanting to keep her spirits up, Bella shared a photo of a box full of baked goods she received while lying in a hospital bed with an IV in her arm.

The Washington DC-born beauty managed to escape from the hospital in a few of the images.

A particularly sweet photo shows the top model lovingly stroking a miniature horse.

Bella had a white port on her arm in many of the photos.

The device is usually used to make blood draws or blood transfusions easier and less painful for the patient.

Not one to stay in bed all day, the talented rider also posed for several selfies, showing off her toned abs as she continued to undergo medical treatments.

She later shared a TikTok video of her enjoying the fresh air while taking a “mental health walk” with an adorable Australian Shepherd named Beans “in between treatments.”

“I know I look sick, you don’t have to tell me twice, okay!!” she captioned the video. “No, I wasn’t in rehab, and no, I don’t do drugs, so we can drop it all now that I’ve briefed you. I love you.’

Bella is one of three Hadids suffering from the incurable chronic disease.

Her mother Yolanda also has Lyme, in addition to her brother Anwar Hadid.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has also been very open about her ongoing battle with Lyme disease, revealing in the past that it also left her suffering from depression during relapses.

Despite the grueling amount of treatments the Ramy star has had to endure, she has done everything she can to see the bright side of it all.

“As painful as this experience was, the result was the most enlightening experience of my life full of new friends, new visions and a new brain,” the co-founder of Kin Euphorics wrote on Instagram.

She expressed her gratitude to her mother and her medical team for never leaving her.

The talented Givenchy model once told People“The hardest part of this journey is being judged by how you look rather than how you feel.”

The Making A Model With Yolanda Hadid star didn’t caption her latest photo dump featuring snapshots of her journey to recovery, but her beaming smile spoke louder than words.

WHAT IS LYME DISEASE?

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks.

The most common symptoms of the disease are fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash called erythema migrans.

The disease can usually be treated with several weeks of oral antibiotics.

But if left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart and nerve symptoms and be fatal.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE INFECTED?

During the first three to thirty days after infection, these symptoms may appear:

  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Erythema migrans (EM) rash

The rash occurs in about 80 percent of infected people.

It can expand up to 30 cm, eventually making it look like a target or a ‘bull’s eye’.

Later symptoms of Lyme disease include:

  • Severe headache and neck stiffness
  • Additional rashes
  • Arthritis with joint pain and swelling
  • Facial paralysis or Bell’s palsy
  • Palpitations
  • Problems with short-term memory
  • Nerve pain
