Bella Hadid updated her 59.3 million Instagram followers about her ongoing battle with Lyme disease on Sunday.

The 26-year-old model posted a variety of throwback photos showing both her in the worst moments of her struggle with the chronic disease over the years, as well as snippets of her medical records going back more than a decade.

Taken together, the photos detailed years of health issues and fatigue that have plagued her, even as she rose to become one of the most in-demand models in the world.

And though Bella has been taking time off from work and has cut down on her social media posting since quietly splitting from her boyfriend Marc Kalman earlier this year, she made it clear that this was only a temporary setback for her.

‘I’ll be back when I’m ready,’ she wrote defiantly in her lengthy caption.
