Celine Dion loses control of some muscles due to Stiff -Person Syndrome

Celine Dion’s sister, Claudette Dion, has provided a depressing update on her sister’s ongoing battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.

In a recent interview, she revealed that the world-renowned singer is now having difficulty controlling specific muscular movements.

In an interview with 7 Jours, Claudette expressed the family’s distress over this latest development. She also emphasized the singer’s dedication to making a comeback in the music industry.

She stated:

“She’s working hard, but she doesn’t have control over her muscles. What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well, you’re going to do it properly.’ It’s true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don’t know”.

A year has passed since Celine Dion revealed that she was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, an uncommon neurological illness that causes excruciating muscle spasms and stiffness and generally interferes with day-to-day functioning for sufferers.

Regrettably, the disease has the potential to spread, resulting in the constriction of the afflicted muscles, which can frequently impair movement and give the appearance of a statues.

Due to the illness, Celine Dion was forced to postpone her much awaited Courage World Tour indefinitely. She apologized to her fans for this announcement in May 2023.

In August 2023, Claudette expressed confidence in an interview with Le Journal de Montréal about their continued hunt for effective treatments for the incurable illness.
