Ren updates on his Canada stay and medical state | Oct 5

[@Paul-Gleave]

I was a little worried about him wondering around at night like that but then realised that he has so many talents I couldn't rule out him being an actual ninja... Stay safe and well Ren.

More insight ×× awesome 👌 👏

[@Juttutin]

My story started in 2009. I am so grateful that I was already in my 40s. I am so grateful that my illness is not nearly as severe as Ren's. But damn I feel this video to my core. Is my day to day existence because of my depression, or do I keep falling into depression because my day to day existence is often exhausting for seemingly no reason? Years spent being told and being convinced it's the former. Years of lived experience convincing me it's the latter. Thanks REN, for the music, and the empathy. ❤

Of all the horrible things this world got wrong, you are one thing the world got right. It’s comforting in this day and age that souls like you exist. Because it’s easy to look around and think everything’s going to pot. That the younger generation’s checked-out and content to live vicariously through reality stars’ lives. And then a behemoth likes you bulldozes down the street with talent, and genius, and an ambassadorship to a very serious ailment. And I believe in people again. It is my belief that you have a rare gift of articulation that so many with your illness have desperately needed. And you’ve packaged it in brilliant music. I’m always in awe of your videos and artistic gifts. You were born for this.

[@lashondacarr1873]

So perfectly said😊

[@merchiron]

I was diagnosed in my 40's with M.E. The rheumatologist told me that there was nothing that could be done other than learning to pace myself. I'm in my 70's now and to this day not one doctor has asked me how my condition is now - not once. I was just left to my own devices. I am much improved thankfully but cannot imagine your suffering being so young. I feel for you. Love your music Ren.

[@jve4477]

Damn, it's heartbreaking that none of these doctors ever asked in over 30 years!!! 😢 Jeez.. I hope you had and have a lot of support and loved ones by your side. Take care. ❤

Chats like these will shed light on the the short falls of the medical system. You have become an ambassador for mental health and chronic illness. The more people like you, people who have managed to get into the spotlight, who step up and speak out the better it will get for the rest of us. Well done. I’m so glad that you have managed to get yourself in a position to get the help you need for yourself too. You lived in hell for a very long time.

[@philliphall9817]

Hi Ren this is Phillips wife Susan. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have been ill since having some flu like symptoms when I was seventeen in 1981. It took me 26 years to get a formal diagnosis of probably has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have been realising lately that on the whole I have been medically neglected for over 40 years in regard to the fluctuating energy impairment and cognitive issues I experience. Thank you for voicing your concerns about how people with chronic illness are treated. Speaking your truths to the world through your songs can change this. I am a bit of an activist at heart trying to raise awareness of these issues. I am grateful that you are managing to reach the people who may not be aware how much this area of health needs to be transformed. so many people are desperately needing better care than they currently receive. All the best with the tablets and that they have the end result your hoping for.

[@juliasharon5337]

sounds familiar- it was 1988 for me when i was in college and got mono- so little was known then too and i had to really keep at it and never giving up.

[@julieyates405]

You are so right about the failure of the current system to properly assess and diagnose people with chronic illnesses, let alone monitor or manage them in any meaningful way. Let's fight for a 'Feel Better Factory' that does things differently. One where people get the care and support they need. xx

[@rebeccaaspinall7509]

Just found this post by accident and in floods of tears I've got a mystery chronic illness just like you described and have missed out on my late 20s and most of my 30s.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

What’s worse with chronic illness, is that the illness itself often won’t kill you but instead cause daily lingering suffering, but that often leads to suicide. So for all intents and purposes, chronic illness IS fatal. There should be an urgency to find the root cause undiagnosed and elusive chronic illness, rather than simply just medicating and hoping for some stability, that’s just a bandaid. Because the consequence of getting it wrong and blowing patients off could be death anyway.

[@Michele-Elise]

I feel for you Ren. I wish you received better medical attention sooner. Auto-immune diseases are difficult to diagnose. I went through a similar ordeal. Doctors (in Canada) assumed I had Lyme’s disease. Took about four years to discover I had a rare disease called MOGAD. It’s the new kid on the block when it comes to auto-immune diseases. You are absolutely correct when you say, everyone’s got a challenge in their life. You, my friend, at least have been blessed with the biggest heart. ❤️

[@stacie9229]

Relate, I was put on a waiting list for EMERGENCY mental health treatment when I was 19 after spending 20months as an inpacient in hospital, I was told the waiting list would be 3 months. Finally came to the end of the waiting list and began treatment at 30. In the interim things had gotten MUCH MUCH worse and I'd developed a whole host of new problems because of not getting the care I needed things had spiralled and came close to death many times and just a lot of suffering occurred which was probably preventable. Sorry you've been through that. Sometimes people fall through the cracks and the NHS/services totally fail people and it is enraging and heartbreaking when that happens. Sending love. Glad you are in this place now

My whole life I’ve been at odds with the medical system. Took until my 40’s to get them to listen to me and give me the blood tests needed to diagnose my lifelong disabilities leading from a severe deficiency in Vitamin D… vital to keep in safe range of 50+; mine was 12.5 and told it was ‘normal’. I’m now battling stage 4 Cancer with no help from the system; so it’s down to me to look after me. You will find a way too. ✊🏽

[@Igomeow7383]

You have a real idea of life because you have seen how ugly the world can be. I relate. I think that's why I love your art the way I do, Ren. I have medical/mental illnesses too. Some the same. I say this to everyone I meet I think, my best friend/love of my life/father to my child died almost 4 years ago. I still smile. I still am there for people. I still pray. I do miss him to the point where I cry a lot. And I am always in bed. I can't eat much. Blah blah blah ect....although, I I was on drugs and then methadone. Went to treatment (detox, all that). Then, I lost him. I have no control of that situation. Just like I lost the fight every day for years while the alcohol was killing my sick husband. I'm crying. Your not the only one who has been tortured by a hard past. I'm sorry for that. I wish and hope and pray you live your life to the fullest. Laugh the hardest and smile all the time! Because life gets lifey. And I'm totally obsessed with your music. God bless ❤, Becky

[@susie8557]

I love your positive attitude to your Lymes alongside acknowledging the awful period. It's helping me on my Long Covid journey, especially as nobody in the medical system can definitively tell us what's wrong, and there's no treatment - we are just left alone. Thsnk you, Ren.

[@thegingermenace8593]

It's called Socialized Medicine that sucks and hold you back, my love! We have that kind of good medicine here in the U.S. ❤ Right now I have 8 doctors I see regularly. We, in the U.S. have that kind of good care here. All I needed was an MRI that gave me my answers. I spent 2 years in bed last year & the year before that. I know how you feel, Ren! ❤ P.S. I wish we could compare stories!!

[@kontactbox]

I have no words. I'm speechless. I am also still going through a deep depression brought on by child abuse. However, it seems to me that my state of suffering is very small compared to yours. Over more than 20 years I took countless antidepressants whose side effects were destroying part of my neurocognitive area. It took many years for me to understand that the answer to my problem was not in mefications, but in me. I learned to relax and accept these circumstances, never giving up. As you say: this is an eternal dance. Today I feel fine, but I have some bad phases caused by the side effects accumulated over many years, and of course the pain that will never disappear from my subconscious. Today I am a much better human. I am very attentive to everyone who may be going through the same problems, trying to help. I wish you a speedy recovery. Everything will work out. Very soon you will be making good music again. You can't imagine how important your music has become and is helping many people with different problems to react and find hope in better days.

Prayers go to you for your recovery. The medical community mis diagnosed and experimented on my brother, and after almost three years of take these pills and we'll see you in a couple weeks. So after these months he was reduced to a quadriplegic. So they wanted to start treating him for lyme disease, He found a nuro surgeon who tested him once and then imediately operated ,,,twice, once in his neck to repair the nerve damage that was cutting off his lungs and heart and then his lower spine to hopefully restore his legs. My brother is fighting to come back, he now gets along with a stroller and is able to drive a little, but it takes all his effort and energy. So GOD Grant the strength and resolve to see it though.

So you have to remember you getting better will have such an impact on everyone still suffering. Your seriously the only one who can rally change that will have to come.

That's why your videos are so important to remind people like me to be grateful❤ I have Myasthenia Gravis which is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that attacks my skeletal muscles. BUUUT.. Like you.. I was misdiagnosed for several years. I was being treated for fibromyalgia was sent for cognitive therapy😠 I finally found a doctor who took the time to run the proper tests needed to pinpoint what exactly was wrong with my body. I'm only in my 40s and need a walker or my cane most of the time. I have a shower chair and grab bars 😭 But the good news is, that ever since I got started on the correct treatments I feel a lot better❤ Which is SOOO important!!

I just saw this and I wrote a big fucking novel of a response as to where the health system has let people with chronic illnesses/autoimmune disorders waste years of their life hoping, waiting, dealing with disappointment after disappointment and their life stories being turned into constant longing for things to return to the way they were, waiting for that miracle specialist that will finally end the suffering, hoping that you never lose hope because what else is left except for hope?! 6 to 12 months between each appointment just enough time to feel hopeful that this’ll be the one. Getting to an appointment and feel like you have to convince them it’s real. Having to believe there are good people out there. Have to keep faith in humanity. It has taken my youth, that’s a big part of the heart ache, the experiences that I missed, friends lost to time. In saying that, it is what it is and I still have hope that I can get my body to go as fast as my mind again. It’s just that I was a party girl, adhd party girl who loved enjoying life experiences spontaneously and impulsively. staying up dancing all night at clubs and playing pool at pubs and being in ecstasy at festivals 😉. A beer drinking free spirited soul that suddenly had her youth stolen/ taken away due to fucking chronic illness, and time slipping by. Now I’m 38. How? 15 years still only half answers leaving me in a state of confusion.It’s unfair. I am a mother too. Single mother, because who wants a sick partner, right?! Somehow through all this I managed to do something great for this world. My children. (Oops I wrote another novel fuck sorry) REN I just want to thank you for sharing your story. What you said about the health system and not understanding how or why this can bring down even the most mighty of us humans, truly hit home. I’ll finish by saying- through gritted teeth IT ALL CoMES down to time = money. 15 minutes for a specialist is not enough time to get to know me let alone help/save me. 15minutes?! It’s sickening. so money makes me human? The public system has taken it upon themselves to decide and choose either you get to live life and improve your health and happiness with finally having answers or you get to continue suffering mentally and physically for another 12 months. 15 minutes to decide my path. Gotta ❤ mother Fucking MONEY. ✌🏻❤️

[@goobydoot]

Itry to make the point to people so often in my life as much as I love the community success stories of crowd funding someone’s treatment. It shouldn’t have to come to that it really shouldn’t and every time it works out and I see it and hell I add my little donations in whatever I can help with when I can but every time it works out I think about the people who aren’t visible who don’t have the community support or name recognition. What about those people who aren’t popular or not very likable or introverted with not many friends, or their families aren’t around or just don’t have anyone who has the skills or the energy in their lives to start a gofundme it shouldn’t be like this we shouldn’t have to crowd fund people’s healthcare on a case, by case basis. Who gets helped shouldn’t be a question of exposure or a popularity contest. I love that you made this point in there… it shouldn’t be this way. So very glad you found help and had some ability to pay and fill in those gaping gaps in help that our health care services are splattered with. Huge new fan, so glad to have found your music and these reality check posts too.

My darling husband sweetheart and my full time carer just saw this and he sends you biggest love and bestest wishes. He gets it. He’s all choked up and that’s a rarity for my giant of a tough guy. We are with you in willing this treatment to work for you.♥️

Sometimes it takes specialists and generic health care does not cut it. Most doctors base everything on what their book says to do given a list of symptoms. They lack the ability to think outside the box and really analyze a patient because they have 20 other patients they need to tend to and simply do not have the time or energy to really dig in. Unfortunately private health care is the best way to go about it but it's expensive.

I love and support you Ren! And strong enough to turn it into art. You have to get through it - that’s what we do. We are waiting on the completion line (for this part)

[@urielsmachine997]

A rocky road indeed. Had it not occurred, you may have been in deeper do-do than the suffering that you endured, such that you may not be here today for reasons unrelated. Same with the contract with Sony, they are part of the money game pt2 and pt3. You are NOT! By your suffering your destiny with fame and fortune will assist proper diagnosis methodology and a better medical system. I/We LOVE uR WORK Ren Eryn Gill.

Every thing happens for a reason, god bless you Bro, lets go man,!

[@mariannehoffmann2875]

Sorry but i say it in French. Ren tu es formidable, si courageux ! J'ai découvert ta musique il y a peu (avec Hi Ren). Tu as transformé ton mal en art. Que c'est beau ! Tu es beau, tu es lumineux. Les gens qui disent que ta musique ne parle que de le maladie et la dépression n'ont rien compris à ton message. Je n'entends que le beau quand tu chantes. Ta voix est merveilleuse, ta passion est merveilleuse, ton sourire est 🥰. Continue de briller ta lumière pour les autres mais avant tout pout toi, tu l'as mérité. La pop rock girl que je suis, dévore ton rap, ton flow raggae et ton timbre ska avec délectation. PS : je n'y connais rien en musique, je ne joue d'aucun instruments et ne sais pas lire une partition. Je me laisse juste emportée par l'émotion provoquée par l'art car c'est la plus belle des thérapies.

[@chippy69]

[@m.a.sperry3424]

I'm glad your Mom is getting better, but I'd venture that maybe it's the medical care she's getting that is determining the state of her health. If that were not the case, then why would we need doctors?
