Jenna Jameson diagnosed with COVID-19 while battling mystery illness

Jenna Jameson has been diagnosed with COVID-19 amid her mystery illness.

“Well, I officially have the coronovirus [sic],” the former Playboy model, 48, captioned an Instagram selfie Thursday, which appeared to be a throwback.

“Just focusing on healing,” she continued.

Jameson assured “everyone kindly wondering about” her via Instagram Stories that she is doing “OK” and posted a picture of her feet.

The former porn star has been documenting her health journey since finding herself unable to walk in January.

While Jameson was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome at the time, the disorder was later ruled out.

The “Love Service” author was discharged from the hospital the following month, telling her Instagram followers that she hoped to be “out of a wheelchair soon and walking” on her own.

“I still have more testing to do but it seems there’s something off with my femoral nerve, and it’s affecting my strength in my legs,” she wrote in February.

By April, Jameson was “making strides” with the help of a walker. She clarified at the time that she wasn’t paralyzed, filming herself moving her legs.

“I just cannot bear weight, so yeah, we’re still looking for a cause behind everything that’s happening, but as soon as I find out, you’ll be the first to know,” she captioned a “propped up” photo of herself at the time. “Well, maybe not the first, but, you know, the second or third.”

She also described her sleeping struggles, explaining that she felt “stabbing pains” in bed.

Jameson, who is the mother of twins Journey and Jesse, 13, and daughter Batel, 4, was able to walk again without assistance in July.

“I mean, I’m not walking perfectly but at least I’m up on my feet,” she wrote via Instagram last month. “How cool is that? Feeling a lot better.”
