Sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid are famous in the modeling industry and are known as “female models with golden spoons”.

The difficult-to-treat disease torments three family members

Despite being rich and famous, the Hadid family has to face a disease that, no matter how much money they have, cannot completely cure. It’s Lyme disease – a chronic rash caused by bacteria. Lyme disease makes people feel tired, forgetful, and difficult to concentrate on work.

In Hadid’s family, there are three people with the same disease: mother Yolanda, sister Bella and brother Anwar. Eldest sister Gigi (who does not have the disease) once shared how this disease made her family members miserable. “Growing up in a family where 3 people had illnesses forced me to be independent from a young age. My mom couldn’t drive or get out of bed some days, so I took my younger brother to school, or I made lunch.”

Ms. Yolanda saw 106 doctors just to find out what her disease was and find a way to treat it.

Ms. Yolanda herself appeared on the show The Dr. Oz in March 2016 also recounted the tiring time of not being able to find the disease. Yolanda has had this disease since 2012 and had to see 106 doctors everywhere, being treated with stem cell transplants as well as many other advanced therapies. Although she recovered very well for a period of time, the disease later returned.

Similar to her mother, Bella also went through a difficult time fighting this difficult-to-treat disease. The young female model has had the disease since 2015 and 6 months later, her younger brother, Anwar, also received the same diagnosis as his mother and sister.

Bella told the Evening Standard that “it was a dark time” when she first got sick. “I was exhausted. The illness affected my memory so I couldn’t remember the way home. I was so tired, I couldn’t get out of bed for 6 days. My mind was completely unstable, so I couldn’t sleep. Can’t see anything,” Bella confided. “That was the most difficult time of my life.”

What is Lyme disease, what are the signs?

Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted by infected ticks living on deer and to humans and animals. This disease is the most frequently reported tick-borne disease in the United States.

Early signs and symptoms

A small, red bump, similar to that of a mosquito bite, often appears at the site of the tick bite or removal and resolves within a few days. This normal occurrence does not indicate Lyme disease.

However, these signs and symptoms may occur within a month after you are infected:

Rash: Three to 30 days after being bitten by an infected tick, an expanding red area may appear that sometimes clears in the center, forming a bull’s-eye pattern. The rash (erythema migrans) expands slowly over days and can spread up to 12 inches
