Florida based Laura Loomer, who previously tried to run for election as a Republican, has been banned from Twitter and Uber over her extreme views.
Loomer revealed she caught COVID-19 to her 32,000 Telegram followers on Thursday.
"Yesterday, I was feeling ill. I had a fever, chills, a runny nose, sore throat, nausea and severe body aches that made my whole body feel like I got hit by a bus, and after sleeping for a few hours, my symptoms started to remind me how I felt when I had a bad case of the flu years ago," her initial post said.
But in a follow-up post, it appeared things had gotten worse with Loomer saying, "just pray for me please. Can't even begin to explain how brutal the body aches and nausea that come with COVID are. I am in so much pain".
Loomer has previously said she hopes she gets the virus so she can prove she's had worse experiences with food poisoning.
"I hope I get COVID just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life threatening than a hyped up virus. Have you ever eaten bad fajitas? That will kill you faster than COVID," she posted on Parler in 2020.
Loomer, who is an anti-Muslim and anti-vaccine extremist, still has no plans to get the vaccine despite her diagnosis.
"I have not taken the COVID vaccine and I don't plan on ever taking it because it is unsafe and ineffective," she incorrectly claimed.
