A lot of the medical system still to this day doesn't recognize. Chronic Lyme disease as a real thing. Although I read that the CCD in the U S has finally said that they now recognise Chronic Lyme disease as an illness. So maybe some light on the dark tunnel. Has been given for more sufferers to get the help they need.

The whole medical system has gone downhill. _Urgent_ tests, ordered by doctors, often can’t be scheduled for months, leaving only an emergency room visit as a timely way to get answers, which we get charged thousands for, despite having expensive medical insurance. I thought it was bad 20-25 years ago, but it’s much worse now. Regarding Lyme, I keep being told that the tests are not reliable, and at this point, I’ve probably had it for over 20 years.

Look how far you have come. You are an amazing human being Ren. Not just physically, mentally and emotionally have you travelled, but on your inner powerful heart-soul connection journey too. I hope for a day everyone can get this type of holistic care and begin to fully understand and embrace that journey. You are allowing yourself to full embrace “becoming”. You are more whole now at this stage in your life. Maybe you will always compartmentalise some parts of your life, but that will be through choice rather than protection and distancing of the pain, sacrifice and hurt. I always with all my heart wish you well and wish you the ability to shine to your fullest glory in the world, whatever that looks like for you.

Family members even thought I was just being lazy at first, until they saw me screaming in pain, begging them to make it go away and not having any answers. I believe mine was caused by prolonged trauma/ptsd, my body just couldn't take it.

Their emergency rooms are the same, they just dismiss you and send you home to suffer. I totally agree with you that the medical industry doesn't know what to do with us chronically Ill people.

The reason it took so long to get to the bottom of your illness is because every doctor, nurse, technician and every other medical "professional" had to get "their hands inside the cookie jar!" Even doctors in other countries are getting in on your misfortune. You wrote several songs about this very problem with your Money Game trilogy and other fantastic songs. That is the hope of your music. That one day money will not be worth more to humans than our own humanity and health.

Thank you for sharing this. I started following you in time to donate to your fundraiser and I’m so happy you’re in a better position now and have put on weight and look so much healthier. And as someone that is ill with an autoimmune disease no one knows shit about or will listen to me- thank you for being so transparent and open. I don’t feel alone. So much lvoe. ❤❤❤

My experience, too many doctors want to treat the symptoms without finding the cause. I've turned down pills.....when I ask "but why?" and there's not an answer....ok, next. I am finally seeing a group of specialists who are great and work with each other to figure out the puzzle. Thanks for everything that you do Ren. Much ❤ your way.

I won't post a load about my story bc I know the outpouring can be overwhelming sometimes, but I can definitely empathize with your journey and have experienced about 17 yrs of head scratching over my health. Your story has helped me so much and your music continues to help me literally every day. I hope to do a cover of one of your pieces as a thank you, because you literally changed my life. Thank you for all you do. You have a diehard fan in me ❣❣❣❣

You are so humble. Such an incredible human. ❤❤you are so loved. It has taken me my whole life to finally get diagnosed last year with an autoimmune disorder that almost killed me from sepsis. I felt all everyone of these things and it was decades. Wasted life. I'm so proud of you.

Even as a nurse, it's hard for me to say anything that truly hits the spot, with regards to what you have been through, and indeed, are still going through. But, you have a light Ren. Where it came from is another conversation altogether, but it's a light, and it exists to not only remind you what you have beyond the BS, but also shows others that darkness doesn't abide. Peace.

I have said this before. It’s very difficult for you Ren I know. You are I think the only one who is able to perfectly use your , music your platform, your genius wordsmithing and your story telling. I feel like you are an avatar for so many people’s stories. Keep it up. I think the balance of you Ren and your genuine Ren self is perfect too. 😘💝😊

Thank you Ren. Wishing you all the best. I have this dichotomy of thought where I want you to become a world renowned musician, director, actor, singer all the things, but at the same time I selfishly don’t want you to become too famous, what is it called? I want to gatekeep you. Ha ha. Anyway, you are such a motivational, inspirational person for so many people you deserve to go as far as you can possibly go. ❤❤❤
