Hi my names Ren and
I have suffered with varying levels of ME/CFS for four years. Last month I
discovered the cause. I suffer from Hypochlorhydria, SIBO, and parasitic
infections. It has gotten so bad recently that I’ve had days where I couldn’t
get out of bed, found it very difficult to put sentances together and on my
most extreme days even lifting food to my mouth was difficult. It comes and
goes in waves, but the last thing I want is to get to a point where this is
happening constantly. My current condition is that I have had to stop following
my dream of being a successful musician and am living at home with my mum
because I was too ill to live with friends, and was too ill to work.
I have been put
on a strict diet and will also need various treatments and supplements to
correct these conditions. One of the hardest things to treat will be the
specific parasite, and since being diagnosed I found that they usually live in
harmony with things harder to detect, and they are very hard to kill, and are
usually treated with pretty harsh combinations of antibiotics, some I am currently taking. So far there are
only a few doctors in the world who are helping people overcome these
infections with dramatic results. Through hours and hours of research I found
out that one of the best doctors in the world for parasites lives in New York
and has cured many people with a similar condition to mine; and I would love
more than anything to go and see him, in hope he will do the same for me.
My problem at
the moment is the medial bills are stacking up so high that me and my family
can’t afford the medicines that my doctor has reccomended, and the trip to new
york is too expensive, as is the cost of the treatment, especially seeing as I
am too ill to work to make the money. Saying all that one thing I can do is
still record and write songs, so i have recorded and written a 5 track EP which
I will send by email to every single person who helps donate to help me beat
this. I didn’t want to feel like a charity case, I want to feel like I’m giving
something back too, so these tracks are my way of doing that. I’ve spent the
past month putting my life and soul into them, and they are all brand new
songs.

If you donate please leave your email adress in the comment section, or
facebook/tweet me your email and I will send you the tracks. If I reach my goal
or even raise more than it then all the money I don't use on treatment will be donated to the
M.E. trust fund and action against M.E. All the money will be going towards
paying for flights to new york, as I may need to make multiple trips,
accomodation, treatment, medicines, and private medical bills, anything i don't
use will be donated.
I really can’t
let this beat me and I want more than anything to start following my dreams
again.
--------
I will try my
very best to email the tracks as often as I can but sometimes I might not be
near a computer and it might take a few hours until they are with you, but I
promise if you donate they'll never take more than 24 hours to get to you
For Anyone who want's to hear the music here is a teaser of the E.P.
