Celine Dion is dedicating herself to battling a rare neurological disease, but regrettably, there are limited options available to alleviate her suffering, according to her sister.
In a recent interview with HELLO! Canada, Claudette Dion provided an update on Celine's condition following her diagnosis of the incurable Stiff-Person Syndrome last year. Claudette praised Celine's strength and determination in her quest for recovery, even though the disease remains an enigma to medical professionals and can cause severe discomfort for those afflicted.
Claudette explained that the disease manifests in uncontrollable spasms, likening it to the sudden leg or calf cramps that jolt people awake at night but affect all muscles.
She candidly acknowledged the limited support available for Celine and the challenges in alleviating her pain. Nevertheless, they hold onto hope that medical researchers will discover a remedy for this dreadful illness.
Celine revealed her diagnosis in a video message in December 2022, highlighting her years-long struggle with health issues, which led to the cancellation of numerous concert dates scheduled for 2023.
Described by the National Institute of Health as a "rare, progressive neurological disorder" affecting only one in a million people, Stiff-Person Syndrome causes stiffness in the torso, arms, and legs.
