Canadian singer Celine Dion has “lost control of her muscles” and her health has worsened as a result of the stiff person syndrome she suffers from, her sister Claudette Dion reported. “What breaks my heart is that she has always been disciplined.” “She has always worked hard. Our mother always told him: ‘You will do well. “You will do it correctly,” the singer’s sister told a Canadian publication.
Claudette explained that Celine Dion has the desire to get back on stage despite the adverse outlook. “It is true that in our dreams and yours, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? “I don’t know,” she commented.
What Is Stiff Person Syndrome?
Stiff person syndrome is a disease that affects the central nervous system and causes progressive muscle stiffness and spasms, especially in the trunk and abdomen. Women are affected 2 to 3 times more than men. Claudette Dion also assured that she has been in contact with many people who suffer from the syndrome, and her loved ones, who have “lost hope” that a cure will ever be found.
“The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle,” Claudette acknowledged. “This is what affects me. Because it is one case in a million, scientists have not done much research because it does not affect many people.”
Claudette also said that a stream of patients, and their families, have sought guidance from the Dion family foundation, Fondation Mama Dion. Likewise, they have sent messages of support while Celine Dion fights against the disease. “Although they don’t know the number of messages the foundation receives about Celine. People tell us that they love her and that they pray for her.” “She receives so many messages, gifts, and blessed crucifixes,” she assured.
Although her good wishes and prayers are pouring in, Claudette lamented that Celine has seen little improvement in her health, even though the Dion family has been working with “the best researchers in the field.”
