"You need to get a hobby" This made my blood boil. The insensitivity of some humans is mind boggling. Thank goodness you met the 3rd Angel. You did this Ren, your tenacious attitude, never giving up. So glad you found refuge within homes of others that understood your struggle with pain. I applaud your stubbornness and willingness to find help. If it only took love and admiration to heal, you would be in rude health. Keep going you remarkable man, paying it forward. Your Ali reach is connecting with the world. 🥊

@seth1455 common tactic with drs who don't know what's wrong. They go to the it's all in your mind. Push the latest drug for mh. Have you ever wondered why everyone gets the same antidepressants. Kick backs. People with me have this stigma that they just need to push through and be positive. This ruins lives 💔 as makes them much more severe. One dr told me drs should listen to patients more, the patients are giving you the clues. Many patients spend so much money trying as ren did. They fight hard and definitely not lack of positive attitude. You lose years of your life til you find the right dr diagnosis and treatment. We need funding as hiv got. Thank you for such a passionate response. So grateful to ren for telling his journey. Gives hope 🤍

I agree 100%!!! Such a beautiful human being!!

It’s so crazy that England and Wales have an average of 1500 cases Lyme disease a year and it’s nearly unheard of there but Texas has an average of 85 cases a year and everyone I know in Texas is aware and cautious of Lyme disease and its symptoms. I can’t believe it took so long for medical professionals to correctly diagnose Ren, it’s gut wrenching and heartbreaking to listen to his experience and walk with him through his memories of pain and suffering, it’s hard to share a story so detailed and personal like this but by sharing it he’s really saving the lives and souls of others. Others who may be suffering from Lyme disease and don’t know it, who have been given the worst cards in life and can’t see things getting better, and even those who just feel lost in the fog of life

@AndaraBledin

Yeah. Lyme Disease is actually a huge issue in the UK, and yet, the awareness is abysmal, even among medical professionals. The really terrible part is that the test for Lyme is really basic and cheap. And while it might not show positive during the initial infection, a simple second test a few months later will be more reliable. And if caught early, treatment for Lyme is also fairly basic and inexpensive. It really is criminal that it isn't the standard protocol everywhere to just toss that test in, even if it's a longshot.

@SuziQ.

My doctor has refused to test me for Lyme for years, because the test is unreliable. I’m sure I have it. I wish it would have been caught (by diagnosis) years ago, when antibiotics could have helped. Now I have arthritis, and am in chronic pain, and looking for a new doctor.

I am a newborn neophyte, a follower of Ren. So I'm in the full story from the beginning. One thing I kept wondering was that it took a shocking amount of time to get the correct diagnosis. For example, in Poland there has been constant talk about ticks for years. I don't know the disease statistics, but I haven't met a single person who hasn't heard about it. And yes, if you are going to the forest or a meadows, it is best to check yourself thoroughly afterwards, and it is not for sporting. If you have dogs, not providing them with regular medical protection, is like a death sentence.

It's devastatingly sad to hear about your experience of being let down by the NHS. I worked for the NHS for eight years and saw far too many young people not being taken seriously. Please know that most of the staff are simply doing the best they can in a horribly stretched service. I know that this does not make up for your experience, but many people like myself feel desperately sad about the state of the service right now and how it lets down so many.

We all appricate and know with every cell of our being that the NHS is stretched and so are the staff; some do genuinely care. All are restricted by a system which doesnt meet the needs of the population. The NHS keeps you alive. It doesnt help you live. The guilt felt by patients for wanting help from a system that tells you its stretched, at capsity ect while tell you the patient that your 'complex'; is a truely painful guilt. The sort of guilt that makes you crawl into a hole and bother no one. Living a torturous exsistance watching rhe light change on the ceiling, while everyone thinks your out there living

Thank god that nurse got you in time. You are truly special.

The NHS need re-educating, they are a nightmare they dont even treat Lyme disease even if you test positive for it, they need to change their attitude because it is on the increase and this year there are a huge amount of tics already

So EVERYONE EVERYONE please SHARE SHARE SHARE the fckn living daylights outta this phenomenal man's STUFF ‼️❤️‍🔥

I'm a minute in and already pissed off. I'm in Pennsylvania - we have over 8000 *reported* cases per year of Lymes. CDC estimates actual number at 10x that which are not reported. You would have gotten that test so so so long before you got it as just a routine test. My freaking DOG gets yearly Lyme tests.

What a story!!! An absolute rollercoaster of emotions. We've laughed with you, we've cried with you. But best of all we understand why you are as driven as you are..... you've ran with this gift of life given back to you and won't stop. That alone combined with your unbridled talent is a true force to be reckoned with and extremely rare to find Ren.....you deserve every success, nothing is unattainable for you......can not wait for the concluding Chapter 💙

I think every single healthcare worker, nurse, and doctor should be made to watch these videos, in full (no edits!!!!)! I work in a hospital, and I see the lack of empathy, compassion, and understanding of the total process someone goes through with their illness. The absolute heartache of not knowing what's going on with you (or worse, nothing can be done to help you!!!), to the pure joy of being cured and gaining their lives back! For whatever reason, too many healthcare workers forget why they got into healthcare in the first place: to help make people's lives better! These videos are a real eye-opener!!! This takes real courage. Thank you!!!!

Can’t wait for last chapter and troubles tomorrow…thank you Ren! So much love for you and everything you do ❤

When you have no words to describe your thoughts, you know what you have heard has hit hard. Nothing but admiration!

How amazingly courageous and awe inspiring you are Ren. How glad we are that you are still here. You are loved greatly by hundreds of thousands of people. ❤

Today I feel hope. Thank you again for baring your soul with the selfless intent of spreading awareness and creating compassion for invisible illnesses. Much love and respect, Ren. ❤

God put that third angel in your life cause He will have you fulfill His purpose. Sometimes we’re put through the fire cause fire purifies. And now Ren, you’re fully ready and you’re fulfilling that purpose fully. Going through the flames was just the way to get you started. You have been doing it throughout all the process with you vlog. In this chapter He showed you the light and the path for you to follow. You’re amazing and always worthy of love and all through that process love was there with you proof of it is you still being here with us sharing your story and sharing love and empathy and hope to all of us in one way or another lost souls. Oh my dear Ren… you’re one of His biggest miracles. Thank you 🙏🏽 for trusting the process no matter how much it broke you. I’m so glad you’re here. He put you in my path for a reason and that reason is keeping me here everyday. Thanks again ❤

I wanted to write a proper comment since chapter one, but it is so difficult for me to find "good" words. I really don't know what to say. Something about how brave you are, how good it feels too listen to a person sharing themselves in such an authentic way, how hard it is to imagine the pain and suffering you have and had to endure. Many of the feelings you describe are familiar to me, but on a much lower scale, I can't even imagine how this must be in the intensity you experienced it. What I definitely take away from this is to be more patient with other people (at least I will try it). You never know what others are going through. You seemed to share a good part of your story before that, but as it turns out there is so much more and so many deeper layers to it. So I deeply appreciate you and your courage! May you life healthy, long and prosper 🖖💜

its no exaggeration for me to say youve helped me still be here Ren. Ive never had a persons story resonate with me like yours did and i found you in the darkest chapter of my very bleak life. Thank you for everything Ren.

I hurt..physically and emotionally sometimes. But i will always keep YOU as my guardian angel, to remind me that life and an empowered self makes me blessed indeed. I'll be working side by side with others in your community to help manifest your mission to bring awareness, research and treatment to the Million Missing. We won't let your suffering and bravery go for nothing. That's my promise.

I had doctors scoff at me when I suggested testing for Lyme’s here in FL. Medical attitude hasn’t changed much in the last 15 years. Doctors still downplay it. Still question why they should test for it. I know 2 people with permanent limitations from Lyme. One tested negative for it 10 times over a year with only the last test showing a positive result. I think too many doctors have little regard for their patients. I’m glad you found something that has worked. Your genius needs to be put out to the world Ren. I can’t imagine my emotional state if I’d never found your music.

It’s kind of surreal seeing this video of Blind Eyed used as it was my first exposure to Ren🤩

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that people who are truly good souls never feel like they deserve to be loved. They feel like they deserve to either be alone or used. But Ren, you deserve love, and to be able to trust, and be happy. You have gone through a living hell. One that could have broken you and made you a bitter, hateful individual. Instead, even as you were suffering, you tried to help others. And now that you are getting better, you are still trying to help and inspire others. You a a good man, a truly good man in your heart. And I hope you get the love and happiness you deserve.

I grew up in the Hamptons on Long Island, NY. We have a lot of ticks. I got lymes when I was 12. It was the worst exhaustion I've ever experienced. My parents didn't believe how bad it was and would leave me to piss myself bc I didn't even have the strength for the bathroom. With antibiotics i was cured in time for it to not be lifelong. That's bc we grew up hearing the horror of ticks. Crazy how we share an ocean and the internet but we didn't share that information to children worldwide. It's a horrible and preventable disease and I'm so sorry Ren. I'm sorry the health system failed you and the world failed you.

RIP Joe Hughes 🕊🌹🕊

The fight that medical professionals have put up over the years is sickening. My friend’s beautiful intelligent son went down a horrible road of Lymes. The professional told her it was a behavioral issue and wanted to send him to a special ed for difficult slow kids. She self educated and became a warrior for him, eventually she found a series of treatments and diet that brought him back to life. The beautiful boy was well enough to start college a year early ( not the backward class) he is doing great. She is still speaking to groups and is pretty well known in our area. I always think about all the souls who didn’t have a warrior of their own. Thanks for sharing, it gives individuals hope and a hand to not feel so isolated

Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.❤

Among the millions of little sperm that create life, only one keeps on swimming and fighting to find its way into the egg of life. You never stopped swimming and fighting with everything in you to stay in the game of Life. Everything is trying to kill us from the start, to believe differently is an illusion. We only evade and survive the inevitable, sometimes to our own amazement when we do stupid things. You are playing and winning the game in a special way, Ren. Teaching others the value of staying in the game.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I point out that, like the angels that helped you thru dark times, you have become that for so many of us. I found HiRen in the midst of one of the darkest and most hopeless feeling times of my life, I honestly don’t know how bad it would’ve gotten without the beauty and inspiration of your art and story. Ty for surviving, creating and sharing yourself ✨🖤✨

Ren you are an amazing person and an inspiration. I have a weird sense of pride for you. I'm proud that you kept relentlessly fighting, I'm proud that you have such a good heart and choose to help the world instead of hurt it, like so many others. It's easy to ignore the troubles and darkness in the world when you are ill, or depressed. You are a part of a rare breed of people who don't give up and aren't afraid to bear their heart to the world. I'm proud that I know of a human that isn't afraid to face the darkness and and be the voice of reason in a world full off greed and self centeredness. I'm proud that I found your music and heard your story. I'm proud that I have gotten to share these things with my peers, most of who struggle with things like depression, illness, and addiction. You have saved so many lives and led many out of the darkness. Thank you.

Tears of utter JOY that you were provided a path to HEALTH! THANK YOU for being so honest and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing YOU with us all! I have no clue how i found your Hi Ren video, but in the past 2 weeks, YOU have brought such hope to my 53 year old self!!!

I suffered for many years with Lyme disease as well. Repeated bells palsy, sunlight was excruciating, short term memory loss brain fog, pain, twitches etc. Ignored and blown off by doctors because they didn't know enough and didn't care to. Luckily I landed myself an angel doctor too. Brain scans show the white matter in the pons region... permanent damage from it. Who knows how it's still effecting me after all these years. Oil of oregano is still something I use and was prescribed by my 2nd Lymes Dr years later when I had a reoccurrence. It gets into all the hiding places that man made antibiotics do not. I'm so happy for you Ren.

The juxtaposition of your journey and the joy you bring to the world with your music leaves me awestruck. This is the song that made me follow the story instead of the artist….

The first chapter where at the end i started crying from joy. Im guessing whats coming tomorrow, the current chapter, and im beyond happy and excited to see what the future has in store for you!!

Ren, your story has given me so much hope that I might be able to regain some semblance of a life some day. There aren’t words in the English language to convey this kind of hope when you’re as sick as I am, as you have been and as so many others are. It’s something I really needed right now when it seems like no matter what I try my symptoms persist, worsen and expand. You are truly a light shining into some of the darkest and most difficult to penetrate spaces. Even if I am not as lucky to recover, the light you bring and the hope that light carries are a gift that I will appreciate always. You are so, so loved. I hope you feel that and believe it and remember it whenever you start to feel the darkness.

I can't believe how a human can be this strong. I only had a really rough childhood that gave me depression and social anxiety. I tried for a few years but somewhere i gave up. I'm still alive, yeah, but i'm not living a life worth living. I admire strong people like you that could dig themself out. I wish you only the best

Just waking up well is such a blessing. My friend has ME and another chronic disease that can’t express as well as you. This has helped me understand sooo much. 🙏🙏❤️

Thank you for everything. Thank you for existing and making our lives better. Thank you for spreading awerness where lyme disease isnt know. Here in Quebec, Canada, every single person knows about it, and how if treated fast can be cured, yet if not lead to heavy consequences like you. It is heartbreaking to see how unknown it is to other country in a world like today. But thanks for bringing changes. And also thanks for your music. It is always with me, whether i feel happy or terrible or numb, i can always find whats best for me in your songs. Thanks for everything

So blessed to be watching this out of bed walking & thankful. So much love has come from your suffering it begs the question but answers the same as if it never was a question. Nothing has been pointless just as nothing is pointless. Love you Ren!

I look forward every day to the next chapter and lovely to see a beautiful view my hometown in the background.

Thank you for your strength, openness, and honesty. We’re all better for it. ❤

You do shine so bright, Ren ✨ My heart breaks for everything you’ve been through. I have my own experience of chronic health problems and can relate in many ways. Your tenacity and resilience are so inspiring but so is your ability to be honest and vulnerable about your experiences and feelings. Thank you for telling this story, it means a huge amount. I hope Troubles hits the charts like a hammer tomorrow! 💚

My mother was one of the first people to be diagnosed with Lyme's in Wisconsin. I was fairly young, maybe 10 (I'm now 50). They must have successfully diagnosed and treated her fairly quickly because she recovered fairly quickly I think (although parents don't always reveal hard times in their life to children). I actually thought they had decided they got the diagnosis wrong because her dentist had missed a dead tooth for a long time and once a root canal was performed she started feeling better. However, bringing up your story with her she indicated that they were separate issues and she had, in fact, been diagnosed correctly. We're so fortunate that diagnosed and treatment happened relatively quickly. I'm glad a competent doctor finally figured it out for you too, and treatment is giving you your life back. Hopefully your story will help many others.

I live in the Midwest (States) and my Dad lived in an area where the woods was his backyard. I remember being little and exploring and finding ticks on me every once in awhile usually on my scalp) my Step mom at the time would use nail polish remover on a Q tip to make them back out. You never want to just pull them out for fear of ripping their heads off. So I knew about the dangers of Lyme disease since I was little. I didn’t know how debilitating it was but I knew it was something you didn’t want. I won’t go out in the woods without pants, long sleeve shirts, hat and a repellent spray.

I've heard good things about stem cells -- glad they're your own (not so good from others). Prayers for your final cure/recovery

Thanks for sharing everything. I used to live in BTN but moved out eventually before Covid. I miss this city and It's a shame I never had the chance to see you live in the street. Glad you made it. Go ahead and keep rocking this world. You found peace, now share it

Within the first 20 seconds, I could breathe again. Bless you, my man.

Ren, it sounds like your mother is also one of the angels 😇
