I'm 7 0years old and I'll tell you right now this kid is possibly one of the most important entertainers walking the planet not just for his creativity and brilliance but also how many people he will be able to help psychologically and physically because everything he has been through

[@markthompson9914]

WoW there someone older than me who likes Ren 😂 56 if u wondering ✌️🇬🇧

[@carlabruce3971]

💯 agree ❤ he's soooo wise, pure talent, musical and lyrical genuis. Says me the 50 year old woman who's also worked with and struggled with my own serious mental health issues, including Psychosis. Can totally relate , he's next level musician ,Artist, poet, lyrical genius and amazing Producer ❤❤❤xx

[@markthompson9914]

@@carlabruce3971 HA HA ❤️ one minute everyone was older than me, then I must have blinked and everyone was suddenly younger than me 🤣🤣 so it’s refreshing to see someone older than me for a change 😂 But u not wrong about the young lad Ren, he’s got a wise head on them shoulders and can put across emotions with his words at ease. He’s got some lovely tunes but `suicide’ broke my heart and had me balling like a baby 😢 but I can’t only relate when he sings of the meds he was on 👍 not good for us 👍 ✌️&❤️ lass, as that’s all we have ✌️&❤️👍

I just need all of Rens fans to know that you all are the largest part of why I havent tried killing myself again... Thank you all for giving me the hope I've always looked for in humanity. 💓

[@IsaBella-yr1rz]

You are loved, please keep going. Praying for you

[@jesclifford88]

Please don’t. I wasted so many years being in that mindset, almost two decades and until I really took charge of myself.. I never knew how beautiful life could be. No one is coming to save you, you absolutely have to save yourself. You are worthy of the fight and life CAN and WILL be enjoyed by you. You just have to fight to get it 🫶🏼 I believe in you and everyone else that is struggling ❤ You are loved and you are worthy 🙏🏼

[@nrsvlda70]

I hope Ren knows how incredibly happy we all are that he was able to claw his way out of the deep, deep cavern in which he found himself. His ability to share his journey has to be helpful for those millions who are still in their cave of pain or suffering. I hope Ren is eventually able to fully experience life with less focus on his health journey.. I wish him continued health improvement.. and peace of mind!

Chronically ill and mentally ill are yelling in pain from the bottom of a well. Thanks to Ren, he elevates the message somewhat. 😢

[@samsunguser3438]

What a wise soul. Wisdom just flows out of him, seemingly effortlessly, which is a true sign of the fact that he's surmounted many hard struggles. And I am ever grateful that he's so open to sharing about his highs and lows.

Wow your so spot on he really is amaxing very wise& talented Well done and what an inspiration absolutley wonderful stuff Ren 🎼🎵☮️💜🙏

[@ravenofthewild]

I'm old enough to be Ren's Gran. I am blown away at the brilliance of this young man. I have struggled with Chronic Autoimmune illnesses and Chronic Pain injuries since I was 12 years of age. Like Ren I spent years being misdiagnosed and because of reaction to meds was sent into psychosis. Have struggled against the horrific medical community for years now. Bless you dear Ren for your brilliance in telling the stories of the desperate need for change in Western Medicine. And for your outstanding gift as a creative genius.

The surprise of the host - ppl still aren’t aware of the scale of medical gaslighting. Especially for female patients.

[@yourgoldenretriever]

He has a level of intimacy in His material that brings a raw authenticity. I feel ashamed listening to him that I can't even reach that level of intimacy in my own private relationships. Shameful

[@Master144.]

Hi Ravenwild. Have you heard of the Medical Medium? He has amazing info about what is causing all these auto immune conditions. Millions of people are getting well from doing this plant based diet. I really would love to get in touch with Ren to share this info and something that could help him and so many others. I had Lymes and other chronic condition and I am healing so well now without any medication. Do you know how I could contact this wonderful young man?

[@Codex7777]

Fad diets from 'gurus' are not the answer. Besides which, Ren is highly allergic to virtually all food. The only thing his body accepts, most of the time, are a couple of different types of organic meat and 3 or 4 different organic vegetables. Thus he has virtually the same plain meal, every single mealtime and nothing in between those meals. He's tried widening his diet on many occasions but it's never ended well. If he followed your guru's diet, he'd be dead not long after doing so.

[@MrHeshion]

Me as well, I'm truly glad I came across his music, I wish my son got to hear his music

[@geralynsteppe5974]

He weeps for those who suffer and die. This is why his fans absolutely love him.

[@shazzykins1]

Oh my word. I knew he had bad health issues but to hear him describe what he went through breaks my heart. I hope Ren knows exactly how much we all love him, but also respect his inner strength. His situation would have finished many people, but he has created something amazing from it. Ren is a talented, humble, astonishing, handsome, eloquent young man.

[@TeresaGrimes-q3g]

REN...I AM LITERALLY JUST PULLED UP OUT OF ANOTHER BAD NIGHT! When I hear your voice without judgement (for myself) is right now the greatest thing giving me hope. Keep doing what is GOOD for you. Then we all benefit.

Agree. Zach is a great interviewer.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

Yes, this one had me crying, so much, as I am sure it did for so many others. I think the power of it was fueled by the focus that was on Ren the person, rather than primarily Ren and his music. Incredible interview, and yes pamquick600, this really does need to be shared and shared again. There is something extraordinary here that needs to be heard.

[@emdiar6588]

This is the interview you get when someone has taken the time to think about which questions to ask, rather than just winging it.

[@zerofox3d]

Rare to have a person who can articulate so well their thoughts on the fly so eloquently.

[@redangel169]

Ren is such a genuine and special human. He holds such a place in my heart.

[@newmaks]

I adore Ren. I haven’t felt this passionate about a musician in a long long time.

[@rudyb.]

I suffer chronic pain every day and Ren is my voice. He is so correct when he said the patient sits in the middle (suffering) while the medical industry La La gags! I love his music and it’s healing, for me. Thank you Ren Gill!!!

[@PeachesandMoss]

I feel the same way. My chronic illness has stolen my ability to make music. I used to be completely obsessed with music. Loosing music along with all my other creative hobbies feels like being half dead. Seeing Ren share his music feels nearly as good as creating my own!

[@Mhantrax]

While it is not a miracle, nor a fix all, if you are suffering from chronic illnesses or pain, there are a great many chronic problems in our society that are attached to our food and eating patterns. I am 52 years old. I used to have horrific wheezing from asthmatic reactions after mowing half a yard. I had joint pain, would have to stop and catchy breath after running up 7 stairs, was prediabetic and had such bad, "allergies," that I missed work 3-4 times per year with lung inflammation that got so bad I would need steroids to reduce the swelling. Well, it turns out almost all of this is from a general inflammatory response from my body. A few things seem to combine to cause this: very high insulin resistance is probably the number one contributor. This is usually from eating too frequently (6 small meals per day is snacks is horrific advice) and eating too many carbohydrates, specifically sugar, which is hidden in almost all ultra processed food, but sugared drinks and juices are the worst. Straight to the liver with no protection (fiber and fat can slow down absorbtion). Another reason for inflammation in our bodies is leaky gut syndrome. The smooth muscles in our digestive system become, "loose fitting," allowing small particles to cross into our blood stream. The body recognizes it and attacks, as is its job. What happens when the body sends out it's soldiers? Inflammation. In short: 1. Ditch sugary drinks and juices. 2. Eat whole, real foods. If it is in a box, don't do it. 3. Reduce carbohydrates significantly. Fat is actually important and the low fat diet is dead wrong. No fat? No hormones telling you that you are full. No fat high carbs? Too much insulin production, cells start ignoring the insulin signals, pancreas creates more insulin to compensate, which is ignored further. Insulin is the, "store fat," hormone. And not just butt or belly fat, but fat storage around the liver and organs. That's what's deadly. 4. Fast. I know this terrifies people, but allowing your insulin level to drop for a long period of time is extremely healthy. It takes a few weeks, but your body can become fat adapted, which means it learns to easily switch to fat burning for energy once all of the glucose from your diet and stores in your muscles is consumed. Don't worry about, "not enough glucose," your body makes what it needs from burning the fat (gluconeogenesis). Start checking out Intermittent Fasting, a few 36 hours fast maybe a 3 day fast a few times per year. But DO eat your full calories for the day when you eat your, say, two meals. Maybe a few hundred cores less than normal is ok, but only eating 1000 calories in your eating days will damage your resting metabolism. Read: Dr Jason Fung - The Obesity Code for a fantastic beginner breakdown of all of this. Dr Robert Lustig - very deep discussion of the mechanisms if you like the super deep science. Well written though. Friendly. "Feed the gut, protect the liver." p.s. Ren speaks of microbiome and disbiosis. You can heal this as well after fasting for 36 hours or more. Start with some grass fed bine broth (grass fed because you need the billions of natural bacteria, fungi etc from a cow eating naturally), then an hour later eat fermented food like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir or Greek yogurt (full fat plain). An hour later eat some greens, asparagus, other veggies as this is good for the new bacteria settling in your gut. Don't let our society take away the rest of your life and convince you that you are meant to suffer forever! All of those things I mentioned before? Gone. Sure, a few odd ball human things crop up. My elbow still has pain after a scooter accident, I got a real sickness for the first time in two years since starting this. But overall, I feel better than I have since my early 30s. During the summer I went out in 95 degree weather and chain sawed the overgrown hedges for 45 minutes, went in and drank some water, then took a mile run. Before just waking out to the car in 95 degree weather would have tortured me. But my metabolic system is healed and it has transformed getting older doesn't mean we are destined for all of these breakdowns. It's our food. It's the sugar. It's the ultra processed food full of too many cheap useless carbs (fiber removed, sugar added) and poor quality fat. Don't take my word for it, I'm just a dude telling my story. Do some research. If you want KZbin videos, one guy does university level teaching about the basics of body biochemistry and all of this, Sten Eckberg.

[@Ann-vi5ns]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@oldblack15]

​@@Mhantraxjust a mention of thanks for your input. Would it be good for people to start with a 18 hour fasting and 6 hours (12pm -6pm) of eating to assimilate? Otherwise would love you to spread this as a possibility for others to explore as a option.

I cannot get enough of this intelligent, well spoken, mature, gifted, handsome man. Props to the interviewer as well.

[@as7326]

I don't have Lyme, but I've been on a very similar path medically for (ironically) 13 years. Ren's music made me aware that an antidepressant I had been on was slowly driving me crazy, on top of dealing with fibromyalgia and kidney disease. Every lyric, every word Ren speaks, I understand on a very personal and deep level. I stopped the medication, which has literally given me back the ability to pray. For so long I was sick, lost, and had given up. I have a long road ahead, but I have hope for the journey, which is really all you need. Ren saves lives. He helped save mine. 💜💜💜

[@irenebeth111]

For me it is was also 13 years also.. 13 years BEFORE I finally demanded a tick born disease panel and was positive for Lyme. Late stage. I'm not sure how I was never diagnosed with anything prior as most people in my position r wrongly diagnosed w MS, fibromyalgia.. and many other diseases that the medical system denies knowing the cause of.. yet they find Lyme bacteria in the brains of people who lived their entire lives with a diagnosis such as MS. This is an even worse prison since the search is now over and only symptoms of this disease, which is merely a blanket term for the symptoms that occur, are now treated with no hope of recovery. Meanwhile the bacteria of Lyme continue to grow in deeper levels of the body, organs and brain .. making it harder to reach by medkcines, natural or prescription. This is why systemic treatments like hyperbaric oxygen, ozone therapy, rife machines, and IV treatments can, sometimes, be helpful as they go deeper I'm not sure why I responded to you. The 13 years seems to be a reoccurring number and it caught my eye Much love to another Ren Fan ❤

[@iris_0508]

Dear REN, I’ve lived with autoimmunity for 20years and in intense pain daily and just diagnosed with early onset dementia .

He cried,and he now understands how intense pain in my caused PTSD psychosis Thank you much love from us❤

[@paxtonparis2746]

I HEAR YOU! No one understands unless you’re going through it. Ren explains it better than ANYONE in my life! I’ve had tons of Drs. Hospital stays. Surgery that were supposed to be 2 day stay. I was in a Full On Coma, SO everyone thought. I FELT PAIN on a UN Human way for 10 DAYS! !! I saw my family coming to door & the nurse wouldn’t let anyone in to see me. I heard every nurse that sat w/ me. Some read to me. I couldn’t move. Total paralyzed! But the pain was like some took a HOT fire Iron and kept stabbing me! I was begging to DIE! But, I couldn’t speak. 10 days in, an angel, or guardian , came to me. She told me I was going to have the pain go away. I literally woke that day. I need more surgeries. But, I’m petrified to even risk it. Btw… I woke up during the surgery. I told the surgeon what they were saying. He did feel awful. Said I had his entire team in tears. That they would never forget the experience I went through. I know that UNBELIEVABLE PAIN Ren is speaking of. I wouldn’t wish it on one soul. Nothing Helps it. None thought I could have been bit by a tick. “ Didn’t fit the mold” I also contracted RMSF. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. W/ Lyme Disease. Told by my doctors, I had to have a full hysterectomy on top of it! 27 yrs old. Now, I don’t trust anyone. My psychiatrist helps to keep my daily pain at bay. I do have decent days. Past week was great. The 2 months before, barely could get out of bed. It’s so much to explain. I hope you have pain relief. Don’t push everyone away like, I’m doing. This is for ANYONE reading this. I’ve never commented on a post about this. I wish everyone well. Wish we lived in a society without greed! Help those who are suffering. Medical Drs. Getting their hands tied by Big Pharma. Keep questioning your Drs. Don’t believe them all, either. For now…I wish everyone Better Health. Thank You REN! I’ve never heard ANYONE put it in words like you have. Your music is on spot. Please stay w/ us. Forever REN! 🎶🎼🎵💞 I’m a sic girl, bit by a tick girl.

I'm so thankful for Ren. Thank you for bringing him onto your platform and letting him say what he needed to.

[@gortongirl]

Ren, my husband has had viral-onset chronic fatigue syndrome since 2020 (maybe COVID maybe not we don’t know because it was before the tests were even available). He was bedridden for 2 years and the last year he was finally regaining some independence. Then a month ago, not long after his 30th birthday, we found out he has cancer (unrelated to the chronic fatigue). Now he’s going through chemotherapy on top of trying to manage his chronic fatigue. Your music is a comfort to me as a caretaker and I’m so grateful to you for sharing the story of the chronically ill. We are such a hidden community and you are shining a beautiful bright light on us for the better. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@saraholson5946]

Do pursue a long COVID diagnosis. People with long COVID frequently also have ME, POTS and MCAS diagnoses. It helps to find a support community where people are not only able to relate to what you're suffering from but also share anything they find that helps.

The only thing that helped me get through it was using the experience to help others and believing this is a soul contract I chose. It's a daily battle, and Im so grateful for Ren's music. Thank you for all that you give to the world!

[@faith8488]

When I first heard the Seven Sins song it had me in tears after the first verse. Now I know why. I went through something very similar. About 13 years ago I went to my doctor because I was in a lot of pain. He ran tests, referred me to someone else, who referred me to someone else, & so on. It kind of felt like playing the telephone game. One doctor told me it was all in my head, just post partum. Another accused me of being an addict. So I stopped going. About 4 months later I had a mass in my neck that looked like I had a golf ball right under my skin. But the last few doctors I'd seen had been so terrible, I refused to go in. It wasn't until I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I was having a heart attack. I lucked out with the doctor in the ER that night. When he ruled out heart attack he didn't just send me home. I ended up having cancer, & it had gone untreated for so long & grown so much, he told me I only had 3 to 5 years left to live. I'm very lucky that I am blessed enough to have been able to watch my kids grow up. So anyone who is suffering like that, or the way Ren did, PLEASE advocate for yourself. Doctors are not always right.

I have been working on it for twenty 27 years and I will never give up making his life the best possible. We love unconditionally and I will never give up.And I agree with Ren, the medical machine sucks. Just like Rens story waiting for months for a Dr. Appointment only to have it fail. Then waiting for months for the next appointment. ❤❤❤I’m so happy he’s made it to the other side ❤❤❤

[@Sncex]

YES LITERALLY, i wanted to literally say ren could be autistic but i didnt want to be offensive to anyone, but i self diagnosed myself, and are chasing official diagnosis, and ive researched it heavily, ren is a next level artist to me, he speaks to the unmasked me, and i kept having a feeling he could be autistic due to his obsession with vocal cues, vocal tones, ticks, hums, theyre all similar to stims i would do growing up, and have recently started doing more due to his music, all his music screams nastalgia of my childhood, unless everyone feels this way and not just ASD people.

[@GeminiPurPower]

@@Sncex it’s very similar to a savant. The very first time I saw Ren in a interview a couple years ago I saw it right away ( the ADHD) but I just kept my mouth shut but Ren is a remarkable man and openly discusses his ADD/ADHD. Which is just fabulous for this community. My son is very unique and gifted abilities too. When he was 5 he memorized every capital city in the United States and then moved onto different countries. Not because I taught him but because I put a world poster in his room as a toddler and he spent hours just looking at it. His math and reading skills too. The brain is an amazing thing.

Finally an actual grounded person and it's taking this long for him to blow up it's insane. He could literally help people. How about everybody just stop with all these other artists let's get him blowing up first

[@Silkytoaster]

I know what you mean but I don’t think Ren should be on all the major shows . Then he would be exploited by them - the people who need to find him will find him through his music and thoughtful interviews like this .

[@marketad6222]

Omg amazing Ren is in his 30ies but he is speaking to all ages I think this terrible illness made this incredible artist incredible he will be talked about years to come massive love to you all ❤

[@ginawright3446]

Ren is the same age as my son who has secondary progressive MS, he introduced me to Ren last year we cried together watching Hi Ren, my son has never cried or felt sorry for himself, Ren made us talk more about his feelings. I'm a fully fledged Renegade now, we both love him so much and listening to this incredible interview just makes me love him more.

[@gaelle4328]

Ren is incredible … ( ps you might want to look up research on clemastine and ms I kinda accidentally found out since I have it for allergies and when I got it year around I looked up if it was ok with the rest of my meds and figured out that probably why I had had periods of being better my dosage has been 2 tablets of 1 mg x 3 times a day take it or leave it but wanted to let you know. Some people take it 5 mg before sleep personally I’m as/adhd so don’t really get sleepy at all )

[@Emilie-one]

My heart hurts for Ren having to go through all that and for anyone else going through chronic pain like this. Sending lots of love. This was a great interview.

[@eekeey]

I found his amazing music recently. I had no idea he was an equally amazing human being as well. I love how open he is.

[@ChrisLawton66]

Great, now he's making me cry during interviews as well.

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Aye, join the club my friend. There are probably thousands of us worldwide who shed a tear or two at many of Ren's songs and wise words.

[@mikeandersen8535]

It is so refreshing to see an artist like that, who is real, who is honest, who just is himself. Loads of respect and admiration for this artist and his music. He is a magician with words, and I believe he his more intelligent than he is aware of himself.

[@jackpeyton9225]

Ren has managed to articulate some of the recent revelations I've been through myself recently. Lessons I've been trying to hold onto for the times where I relapse into the dark. My struggle is nothing extraordinary, I'm not putting myself down by saying that. I'm proud to know that other people go through similar things and that we all share that sense of humanity and I'll forever be grateful to Ren for helping me to hold onto my lessons so I can move into my 30's with a new perspective and acceptance of myself. Diolch yn fawr Ren! Dwi o Llanberis, tua'r un oed a ti.

This is probably the most interesting and wise lad I've ever listened to. I've gone down a rabbit hole with REN, listened to The Big Push sing a few original songs and also a few covers and then listened to Ren do his thing. I've got to say I don't feel too old (I'm 58) to be listening to him, he transcends old and young and I totally understand his music. Thank you Ren, you're a superstar! And I'm so happy you're health is on a positive.

I had no idea Ren was suffering so much as a fairly new listener. This gives a whole new meaning to all of his music for me. My daughter suffers from Lyme disease and he's given us new hope that there are remedies and things we can do for her. Love this! Congratulations Ren can't wait to see what comes next for you ❤️🥰

Sorry to hear about your daughter, I live 15 miles from Lyme Ct where it all started. My brother and mother both contracted it and countless friends,it seems to affect people differently. Good luck I wish you the best

[@laurievandusen6178]

@jennybfoxxy have you been able to find any treatments that have helped your daughters Lyme. I am newly diagnosed and struggling to find treatments that actually work. Any info is greatly appreciated 🙏

[@birtesmolnig8692]

​@@laurievandusen6178If you are newly infected with Borellia the Doxicyclin is the antbiotics that works best. But you should find a doctor who is experienced in treatment for dosis and lenght of taking it. If you are longer on the run its more difficult... then its important to Diagnose if your spinal chord and brain is infected too. Then other antibiotics would be the choice. And tons of detox....the roots of wild teasel are very helpful. Also hyperthermia treatments... Much luck and good healing for you! you!

Just discovered your channel because of this interview. Insightful questions and quality interview. Thanks for supporting our man Ren.

Same here! I’ve watched pretty much every interview Ren has done and this one was phenomenal! Really great questions that are different from what I’ve already heard him discuss.

i love how ren seemed anxious in the beginning then the conversation kept flowing and he started to speak comfortably

[@lindamennie1059]

Everytime I think I can't love Ren anymore he does something like this ❤❤❤

[@TheRealityleak]

Really enjoyed this interview mate. What amazes me with Ren's music is I'm 48 years old and I went and bought my first rap/hip hop album. He's just... As you say - he transcends genres. Money game trilogy, jenny and screech trilogy, the iconic Hi Ren, but also his singing collabs with Chinchilla and Eden Nash... He's a modern day Shakespeare set to a sick beat. Great interview. Thanks again.

[@Annicaha]

I'm more and more convinced that Ren is a lightworker. They often chose a very difficult life to trigger awakening and now he is shining his light on us for our own healing journey. What a brave and beautiful soul 💚

[@angkyge7392]

Yep he talk more and more open about it lately. 😊

[@zed4225]

He is light, there is no doubt about that. He speaks for us, those without a voice with his lyricism/music, he lifts everyone who finds him. Music is one of the best ways to connect. Music is the language of God (s). Peace and love to you sister❤️🌎🇦🇺

[@mariontsangarides6447]

I have always thought of him as an empath and light worker from the first time I heard him. At 73 years old I bought his music as I had a real soul connection to him and love his genius as a musician . He is an all round artist who can make all kinds of music. His singing voice is brilliant , extraordinary and just amazing. He’s highly intelligent and I do believe he is a light being . Blessings and big intentions sent to him for ongoing fame that he so deserves.💜💜💜🌟🌟🌟🌟😊😊

I’ve seen a number of interviews with Ren and I think this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Such a multifaceted artist and a genuinely great person. His art has certainly made 2023 a better one for me.

[@patparker4280]

Kirsanov ( a mature & greying soviet era poet) told Yevgeny Yevtushenko "A poet has only one indispensable quality: whether he is simple or complicated, people must need him. Poetry, if it's genuine, is not a racing track, it is an ambulance rushing to someone's aid." Ren is needed and his poetry rushes to someone's aid .

[@patcow9999]

What an amazing interview, so open, as Ren typically is. Such a caring soul too. Very relatable.

[@katyabercrombie274]

When he described ADHD I teared up. You don’t have to be musically talented for music to heal the ailments. I can’t play anything or sing but I enjoy music immensely, especially Ren’s music, it calms my body but stimulates my brain. It gives me a reason to sit in peace and absorb. It sends my thoughts in every direction but keeps me calm. Amazing! Thank you!

I dont know what it is about Ren, but he gives me an intense sense of nostalgia and i see so much of myself in him. I too have ADHD and was sad and ill for the bigger part of my childhood and teens. I love how ADHD folk age in reverse. We're young at heart, charismatic, intelligent, intense and empathic. I'm nearly 37 and dont act or look remotely my age. I really relate to Ren on a deep level. He is a rare, beautiful and deeply refreshing human in a world so cold.

[@methts7863]

I've been following Ren's journey for a while now, so I feel like he's my big bro at this point. It's cool because his achievements fill me with pride and excitement as if he were part of my family, but it also means he has me in tears at 20:17 ...

What an absolutely wonderful interview. Cudos! Ren is so perfect at giving a voice to my soul and speaking things I hadn't even realized into existence. I currently battle 5 autoimmune disorders and if on the rare occasion I find myself not experiencing pain, brain fog, and extreme fatigue, I will be hyper-aware of my body, hear my own heart beat, how I'm breathing, worry, feel anxious and sometimes think I'm dying. I had never really thought of it being the fact that I am so used to feeling so bad that normal feels foreign to me. The understanding and acceptance I have in my life since I found Ren is a true gift.

I used to be extremely successful and energetic and happy. I was always on the go and living an exciting life. Now im bedridden. Thats lyme disease .... and yet doctors refuse to help.

For Ren this is just the start wont be long before hes everyones icon and hopefully influencing other music Lawd knows music needs more of this!

[@Borahae774]

Thank you Ren. Strangely, I looked into Ren because I have an adult son named Ren. I sent my son the “Hi Ren” video kind of in a joking manner. But as I listened to his music I thought it was amazing. Then when I heard about his story I became even more intrigued. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 9 years ago, and like Ren, my body couldn’t fight it off. I became extremely sick. I eventually found myself at the Mayo Clinic where a neurologist diagnosed me with Autonomic Neuropathy, MCAS, Hyperadrenergic POTS, Erythromelalgia (man on fire syndrome), and Hyper-mobile EDS. I’m super blessed that my husband is a Naturopathic Doctor. He’s the one that discovered I had Lyme disease and he’s the one who figured out, after my health crashed, that I needed to go to the Autonomic clinic at the Mayo Clinic for testing. Most Conventional Doctors in Arizona, where I live, don’t believe Lyme disease exists in Arizona. And my husband has patients who came to him after they went to other doctors after testing positive and the doctor’s don’t even believe Lyme disease is real. The lack of knowledge and understanding about Lyme disease in the medical world is insane. I’m much better, thanks to my husband, but some of the damage is permanent. I’ll always have “Man on Fire syndrome” and Hyperadrenergic POTS with extreme blood pooling in my lower legs and feet. It could definitely be worse, Anyway, thanks for sharing your story and bringing more awareness about Lyme disease to the world.

I’m glad you’re making some progress. Telling your story along with Ren helps make us more aware.

Oh dear Ren, we got your back. You are such a deep thinker & a honest, sensitive, generous soul. You have validated so many peoples' struggles, mentally and physically. Ultimately, also demonstrated you can fight back. Acceptance is the key, for sure . When you said you have elements of PTSD. I thought that exactly, life has dealt you some sucker punches. It normal to react the way you did. Understand your frustration with marathon of trying to find relief and learning how swim again. You can't get your Twenties back, but you have packed so much more in, in the few past years. What a champ. Super interview👍
