Jenna Jameson has shared with fans that she has COVID-19 as she continues her long-running battle with an as-yet-undiagnosed illness.

"Well, I officially have the coronovirus [sic]," the former Playboy model, 48, captioned an Instagram selfie on Thursday.

"Just focusing on healing," Jameson continued.

The former adult actress also shared a story to reassure fans that she is OK, despite contracting the coronavirus.

"To everyone kindly worrying about me... I'm ok," she wrote. "I've got the corona so I'm just healing."

Jameson has been documenting her health after she found herself unable to walk in January.

Although she was initially diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, this was later ruled out, and the Hawaii-based model has regularly shared candid health updates with her Instagram and Twitter followers.

In February, she revealed that she had atrophy in the muscles in her legs and was unable to walk unaided.

"So, you can see I still have movement in my leg, but my quad strength is really, really, really weak," she said on social media at the time, "and as you can see I have some atrophy happening.

"My legs are incredibly skinny. But don't get too alarmed because my legs have always been ultra skinny. So don't judge me. We will be back to the best soon."

Just earlier this month, Jameson denied that she contracted HIV in her journey to understanding her health complications.

On August 11, the model shared a photo of an intravenous tube in her arm as she underwent chelation therapy, which she said was to remove metals from her blood.

She said that metals had accumulated in her blood from the MRI scans she has undergone during her illness, adding that "the contrast into me poisoned me."

Amid the questions and messages of support, one person asked in a tweet directed at Jameson: "I hate to ask but is it HIV?"

"No... that's random... but no," the mother of three wrote in response.

In July, Jameson confirmed that she was able to walk unaided after relying on a wheelchair for months.

"I want to show you guys that I'm walking unaided," she said in a post that showed her feet as she walked. "I mean, I'm not walking perfectly, but at least I'm up on my feet."

"So guys, I'm feeling better. I am able to walk pretty well," she added. "How cool is that? I'm feeling a lot better."

In another post shared on Instagram, Jameson wrote: "Still working to walk. But it's the little victories like getting to the bathroom without a walker or wheelchair that keep me pushing forward. Please pray for my legs, I can use all the help I can get!"
