    Ren posted this update on his health on Friday, 27, January 2022: "I don't know why I find it so hard to share this information, I guess because I never wanted to make my health problems my identity, I feel like Ren the person is so much more than Ren the health victim, but if this journey I'm on can help anyone else going through the same thing, its worth swallowing my pride.
    A lot of people have been asking me for my treatment update, and ive been replying individually but then getting a lot of emails and messages which is quite overwhelming to try and respond to them all, especially during treatment, so I'd be super grateful if anyone sees comments on my videos/posts etc asking how treatments going if you could point them in the direction of this post.
    I've been treating here in canada for the past week and a half now.
    I sat down with the doctor and he explained last week that through all the extensive testing he did back in October, including lots of blood work ups, X-rays, samples etc. and MRI scans of my brain that the damage to my body from a having misdiagnosed Lyme disease and autoimmunity was quite extensive. There was significant damage to parts of my brain and many inflammatory markers in my body.
    The obvious markers of pathology were antibodies to the myelin in my brain, thyroid, adrenals, and bones and a condition called Mast Cell Activation Disorder which would explain my symptom picture quite well. To put it simply my immune cells have been attacking my own body. Because my immune systems been compromised by years of basically being at war by itself it has also held on to some long standing viral infections and not been able to detox things like mold/heavy metals/and toxins properly.
    Initially the plan was to be here for 3 months but because of the complexity of what's going on he's said i'll need to be here for 6 months minimum.
    It's a lot to wrap my head around having to be away from friends, family and a successful career and almost feels like a total juxtaposition to the fact that my music is blowing up right now and spreading to all corners of the world, but thats life, we take the good with the bad.
    The good news is because we now know what's wrong, we now have a road map for healing. I know its not going to be an easy path, but I know its one i'm determined to walk.
    I had to quit smoking cold turkey last week for obvious reasons while going through treatment which was one of my crutches for when I was stressed, so have felt the withdrawals messing with my mood a bit this week, but I've got a solid reason to quit, so I'm just bareknuckling it.
    I'm currently going into the clinic for IV's every Monday to Friday for an hour, firstly trying to build my body up by correcting all the nutritional deficiencies that were found due to being on a restricted diet for so long, and also implementing a lot of stress reduction techniques to get my body optimised for healing. Also found some low grade inflammation from some dental problems so will be going in for surgery to correct that in February to ensure there's nothing contributing to inflammation in my body. Once i'm in a stronger place to deal with it I'll start treating with antivirals and more aggressive treatments.
    The most positive thing, is I looked my doctor in the eye, who is used to treating countless very complex cases, and asked him, if there's a chance I can get back to being in a pain free body with the energy of a healthy person, and he said if I stick to this, there is a good chance I can either get my autoimmunity into remission and recover or at least make enough improvements to live a much more comfortable life.
    Want to thank everyone for supporting my music because that's been the best silver lining to this I could have asked for, reading through comments of support for Hi Ren and Sick Boi has really elevated my spirits, and having an exciting future to look forward too makes this process much easier, so thank you!
    Ren"

    Please explore more of Ren's music. You will soon find how versatile of an artist he is. So many genres and styles. Check out "Sick Boi" next. It's his newest release after Hi Ren. A little background on Ren. He became very ill and was bedridden for almost a decade before finally being properly diagnosed with Lyme disease. He eventually got a stem cell transplant which enabled him to start living life a bit more. He is currently in Canada for treatment to hopefully gain full health.

I’ve lost count of the amount of reaction videos I’ve watched of Hi Ren and I’m still not bored of the song.

      @protospha Год назад +11

      I think it's important to add that the autoimmune disorder he has had, from when (I believe) he was young, is Lyme disease, caused by a tick bite. And Lyme Disease has been, if not still is, one of the most difficult disorders to properly diagnose and/or to cure. And it's a HORRIFIC and painful disease to have to live with. Unfortunately for Ren, he apparently spent years without having been properly diagnosed with this disease, the doctors did not pick up on it:
      "What is it like living with Lyme disease:
      Muscle and joint pain can migrate from one body part to another. Patients can feel sick one day and well the next. Left untreated, Lyme can wreak havoc on the body causing arthritis, persistent joint pain, cognitive issues, neuropathy, encephalitis, exhaustion, tremors and sometimes fatal heart problems."

    I knew the moment I watched this video when it was first released , that i was not watching a Musician, or a street performer, or a pop star. I was watching what I believe to be pure , performance genius. A renaissance man. Sheer bloody poetry in art, sound and vision. This guy will never be mainstream, because too many want top 10 hits , and vacant empty talent less idols to glamorize. He is simply too cerebral for the masses. However in 100 years his name will be legendary. Honored, studied by scholars , and artists worldwide, and forever remembered with the likes of Mozart,Hugo , Orwell , or Poe.

    Whether you sing, write, paint, -- whatever you do that is creative, you have that 'self-doubt' voice. It always hisses in the back of your mind that 'it's not good enough; no one will like it; someone has done it before'... All the things that make you hesitate. Yeah, maybe it has been done before, but it hasn't been done by *YOU*, your spin on things, your view on the subject is completely original to you. Greater than the death of flesh, is the death of hope, and the death of dreams. (

    I don't care who you are, you change over the course of this song. At some point in the song, the veneer drops away and the human beneath shows through. All the pretenses and ruses that we keep up to protect ourselves from getting hurt vanish. And that is why the speech at the end is so powerful for the listener and the watcher, because Ren really does expose the human being beneath with his words. An amazing piece of art.

    I like to think that this is the classic story of the angel and demon sitting on your shoulder. Us as humans do not have the power to conquer the evil, the sin, in our hearts. We must ask GOD for the strength to resist it and to guide us through our troubles. Thank you both for this excellent reaction and thank you Ren for this beautiful piece of art.

    Hope && despair is within us all and in the center is ourself and finding that balance is finding ourselves. We all have ups and downs our own doubts and hops and beliefs so true. It's a constant battle we must learn to understand and learn to dance with until the dance is over. Its life and we all have our journey to forgo alone inside as we are the student. This is brilliant all around even in the lighting and from chaos to calm it's like the dance that we move to with emotions and thoughts that roll in our heads

    Ren Gill, 25, from Brighton UK, was signed by the music giants Sony after they saw him busking. Shortly afterwards he started with flu-like symptoms and panic attacks, DRs initially misdiagnosed him with depression and chronic fatigue syndrome i. He was later diagnosed with Lyme disease after he sought specialist help in Brussels. "The misdiagnosis by medical & psychological community hurt him in ways we can never imagine & significantly worsened his quality of life" ~ Ren

    I fall upon my knees into the wretched depths of sorrow
    My heart wallows alone on this epic winding road
    And wither the trees do, the once-green grass now fallow
    Tears or rain? It seems the same, washing the colors gray
    And I no longer wonder, but accept the thunder
    For the nether widens to swallow me whole, as soundless shadows rage
    And here, in the thorned cradle of my mind, awaiting a light that never shines,
    I am adrift in utter darkness, lost and soulless
    Caked with dust, where once there had been eyes
    ……….
    Yet, in time, a spark of understanding graced me, and I was no longer blind
    For though I’d waited for a light to shine, this light -all along- was I

    Great reaction. IMO it’s the duality of all of us, between your inner voice then he points to the facts that the negative is Lucifer and the positive is like Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Both eternal at war in us. We wrestle not against flesh, but wickedness and principalities in high places.

    Basically the beginning of the song is his Evil side talking him down and telling him he can't amputate it - which is true because we are all good and evil.
    The middle of the song is when evil get so upset with Ren arguing with it that it takes over as Ren's dominant personality.
    Then the last part of the song is the Good side, the godly side, rising up and saying that Evil cannot have him because Good is just as much a part of Ren also, and the two sides must work together to make his life better.
    And then at the end Ren is singing and dancing and the evil is flashing the lights chaotically, signifying that they are indeed all joined and going to work okay together. And that is what we all must do, as human beings, we must accept that we are both a Good and Evil, and work with that.
    -At least that is what I personally took away from this piece amazing music theater.

    One thing few are aware of is that Ren was signed by Sony right before he got sick!! Some of our most impactful artists over the last few yrs pack a punch by allowing us to become part of the journey... best understood by those arriving late by taking the journey themselves... Ren is very much like that yet so very different in that one time period moves us in such a way that we want to know more but to dive straight to the start feels wrong.. letting each layer of the onion saturate and cleanse before the next smacks you in the face (which they all will do) while important isn't confining in that each layer has so much to it that you don't have to finish it to move on ... you just have to be ready to add more everyone reaching that point at different times while their appreciation of this beautiful create and the gift his is gains respect and admiration and inspiration and motivation .. and even self realization!!
    And this couldn't come at a more important time .. just as each layer that came before.
    Ren is currently here in Canada where he undergoes ingestions daily and will under go surgeries in an attempt to once again over power the illness threatening his life... an endless battle due to no cure
    Ren is doing his best to stay in touch with his followers and wants nothing more then to give more of himself.... Rens treatments are not covered and this trip is going to be over twice as long in intensive as expected ... while fighting for his health trying to work would not only be exhausting it risks being counter productive... don't get me wrong if he has something he feels needs to be put out nothing will stop that. But this is where we come in... liking sharing supporting providing a safety net so work isn't necessary or needed to pay for the fight while in the midst of it.
    Hitting Ren's channel liking subscribing not only helps but will lead you to his link tree which is like the golden ticket in a Wonka bar!! Each platform holding a gem not necessarily found on the others.
    Amongst the links you'll find one for gofundme on it Ren explains his current situation in depth. If you're able to donate that's amazing but believe me I better then most understand that's not always possible and he wouldn't want you giving what would them hinder yourself. Tho like myself there is still a way to do your part to help ... sharing the link like sharing his music allows Ren's own voice reach more ears gifting them with Ren's words and Ren's word with opportunity
    Much love and mad respect ❤️❤️ to those who've taken the time and gotten this far!!!
    Thank you ♥️
