    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum told her daughter she admires her bravery and willingness to keep fighting despite all the “failing protocols and countless setbacks.”

    “There simply aren’t words big enough for the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell you’ve lived through since your diagnosis in 2013,” she continued. “You didn’t really live, you learned how to exist inside the jail of your own paralyzed brain.”

    Yolanda expressed pride in her daughter being a “fighter,” who went through yet another month of treatment.

    “I am so proud of the fighter that you are. You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes,” she said, adding that she was praying for her daughter’s speedy recovery.

    “This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always get back up. We will continue to fight for better days, together,” she concluded. “You are a survivor… I love you so much my badass Warrior.”

    Both Yolanda and her daughter Bella, along with her son Anwar Hadid, 26, were diagnosed in 2013 with Lyme disease, one of the most common vector-borne illnesses in the US.

    Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted through the bite of infected ticks carrying borrelia bacteria. The symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and more.

    Some people may experience prolonged and more severe symptoms, in which case healthcare providers would recommend the right treatment plan.

    Yolanda said in her recent Instagram post that it was hard to explain the “invisible disability” that comes with “chronic neurological Lyme disease.”

    While Bella struggles “in silence” with the disease, the mother-of-three said she tries to “lead by example on [their] Lyme journey.”

    The retired model said she stopped sharing her personal story because she wanted an “energetic shift” as well as time to focus on her healing instead of taking in other people’s opinions on her “journey.”

    “Even so, I am the CEO of my health and after fifteen years of searching the globe, I am still determined to find a cure affordable for all,” she added.
