"Thanks for all the kind wishes," he added.
The 53-year-old went public on Wednesday to let his millions of followers know he had the virus and “threw the kitchen sink” by loading up on a cocktail of drugs including ivermectin to reduce "fever and sweats."
Rogan took heat for his comments about the coronavirus vaccine earlier this year and so far hasn’t publicly disclosed whether he's been inoculated or not.
He only admitted to feeling "weary" and "run down" before getting tested for the virus.
