Bella Hadid is checking in with her followers after a week of Instagram silence.

The supermodel posted a carousel of photos to the social media app Sept. 17, showing herself hooked up to IVs and lying in what looks to be a hospital bed. The post, captioned "I'm sorry I always go MIA I love you guys," flops back and forth between shots of Hadid, 28, hooked up to various medical devices, and more serene images of the sunset from her window. Some of the IVs appear to contain blood, and one photo shows Hadid with a bag of ice on her forehead.

USA TODAY has reached out to Hadid's reps for comment.

The middle child of model Yolanda Hadid and real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, Bella was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2012, and began sharing her health struggles publicly in 2023. Her mother had previously revealed the diagnosis for the disease, which she also suffers from, at a 2015 gala. Anward Hadid, the youngest of the siblings, also has Lyme Disease.

In the comment section, the model's famous friends and family were quick to offer support, with her mother writing: "Lyme warrior" and Brazilian actress Ísis Valverde adding "hope u get better soon.

Lyme disease, which is commonly contracted through tick bites, can severely impact the joints, heart and nervous system. It's most commonly reported in the upper Midwest, Northeast and mid-Atlantic and symptoms include fever, fatigue, joint pain and skin rash. Those symptoms can be mild or progress to severe infections that require hospitalization.

In a previous post about the difficulty of battling the disease amid a busy work schedule, the model wrote: "Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain. To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever."
