Ren reflecting on lyme disease | Aug 2020

[@jacksonbutler1828]

I don't know how long I've had Lyme Disease, but it was just diagnosed. On the day it was diagnosed, I found your song "Hey Ren" and I loved it. And then, today, my friend sent me a screenshot of your "about" page on Spotify and my jaw dropped. I've been in pain for so long. I have no clue where or when I got it. I'm just so glad to not be alone and to have a doctor who is listening to me after so long of not being heard.

I’ve battled that. Look into UVBI and ozone. It helped me

[@jamiewalker8772]

That’s some coincidence!! I hope you are well. Had to deal with that shit myself for Years. Only found out cos I got Bell’s palsy. You can always talk if you want to ✌️

[@theresilientspud]

Another lymie here going through treatment. I feel you. I hope you're doing ok

[@timkanaev2092]

He is such an inspiration. Ren truly gives me hope. I always tell to myself when I feel anxious or sad: Ren went through worse pain and suffering than I do and now he is doing what he wants to, he made his dream come true, which means that I can do it too.

[@lahna3643]

Yess!! Me too. He revived hope!

[@angelalewis3224]

Your miracle is real..your music is a gift to ours

[@dccorallo]

Sucks he had to go through all that but he’s making me love music like I did in my younger days. He produces great work and he’s someone we can root for.

[@tashaclaire7258]

Only saw your blog when you were unwell today... devastating! So so so glad to watch this one now... the world would be a lesser place without you dude! Your music is phenomenal!

[@MarkFischer-d5t]

I’m glad you made it through. I struggle still. You are an inspiration.

[@matthaines8136]

I caught that shit in 2020 and within 3 weeks I could no longer comprehend how people stand with good coordination

[@gremlin2101]

Oh man. I feel like the 100% healthy thing can also be applied to mental illness. Like I've been through so much, time and time again, and it's sometimes felt like a vicious cycle where the bad shit I've been through creates behaviors that make more bad shit happen to me. And sometimes you just think, will this ever be gone, like 100% gone? But Ren is right! I don't need 100%, I'm here now and I'm good. I LOVE YOU REN!

[@lesterweinheimer665]

Hang in there man you're an inspiration to so many people! Not many people have as much talent as you do! Stay courageous. You're an icon!

[@a.k.bartleby4295]

you are always an inspiration and the youngest source of wisdom I know (I took me 60 years to realize that "good enough" is good enough and more than we can demand, even if there's more than we can wish and hope). Count your blessings (there's more than good enough in them). I wish you all the best, much love, B.

[@simonejarvis3753]

You've certainly used those 10 years wisley and now reaping the rewards 1000 fold. I hope your PTSD is under control now🙏 xx

[@QurVgn]

It’s been 35 years for me. 😪 I’m just giving up; the quality of life is just too awful. 😢

[@jaeljade3609]

I'm having one of those days. Haven't been able to get out of bed in a while and in so much pain and depressed. There's not a lot of people who understand my condition and family has not been supportive. Sometimes I turn to your music for a little glimmer of hope.

[@jiagforal]

You are here for sure and we are grateful ❤

[@avalonprojectwildfire]

If Ren doesn't feel 100% he's still giving us about 200% somehow!

[@jackiesmith2720]

You are a beautiful soul, keep fighting the good fight, carpe diem🤗🤗🤗

[@TEL250r]

So inspirational

[@scottwatson9453]

[@joprice6837]

[@dianesorensen2549]

Big love and res my man ❤️💯

[@martamoure7372]

[@karindanza]

Yes! It's real!

[@jamiewalker8772]

I’m so grateful for this. I had Bell’s palsy cos of this. I wish that people had known all of these things back then. Thank you Ren for shining a light on this. (It broke my heart especially cos I was so handsome at the time😂😂)

Time to make another banger with an edm classic. Will you take my challenge? Would love to see what you do with Mighty Dubkatz’ ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ (1995 not the 2007 version). You’ve got a knack for fitting in some sick bars to an established groove.

[@katiewhittaker7165]

I think your amazing!

[@jenneper]

Who knows how long I had it really?? I was diagnosed with lupus in 2011..then with Lyme in 2021. 10 years..still don't know if I have one or both.

[@monicaz4949]

I know what you mean about talking about it and just by doing so its a bit of ptsd. Although I am still sick, my whole experience has been one giant PTSD. I wouldn’t wanna talk about it either if I got better.

[@sharondagostino3348]

Struggling multiple sclerosis. I know how you feel . Wish I was missed diagnosed lol that would be fabulous 😂
