Ren has been dealing with Lyme disease and its side effects since 2009. He was misdiagnosed with depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and bipolar disorder for years. At the end of 2015 he was properly diagnosed. The following year he received an experimental treatment that included stem cell transplants. He did not completely recover.
