Welsh musician Ren Gill suffers from severe, long-term Lyme disease, leading to significant autoimmune issues, brain damage, fatigue, and PTSD, which he was misdiagnosed with for years before getting the correct diagnosis in 2015/2016 and undergoing experimental treatments like stem cell transplants. His health struggles, including relapses causing blindness and hospitalization, heavily influence his music, as seen in tracks like "Hi Ren".
•Misdiagnosis: Ren suffered for years, being told he had depression, chronic fatigue, or bipolar disorder before finally being diagnosed with Lyme disease around 2015.
•Experimental Treatment: He received an experimental stem cell transplant in 2016 that improved his health but didn't fully cure him, leaving ongoing autoimmune issues.
•Ongoing Struggles: He experiences autoimmune crashes, brain fog, fatigue, and has needed intensive daily treatments and rehabilitation.
•Relapses: He's had significant relapses, including temporary blindness and severe crashes, leading to hospital stays and return trips to Canada for treatment.

That's awful.
I would not want to imagine what it's like to go through something like that.
