Celine Dion Credits Her Kids for Her Success
In an Instagram video, Dion revealed that she had been diagnosed with a rare progressive neurological disorder known as stiff-person syndrome, a condition that many people were not familiar with.
“I’ve always been transparent about my life,” she shared. “I wasn’t ready to speak about this earlier, but now I am. Managing my health issues has been a long-standing challenge, and discussing everything I’ve been going through has been tough.”
Dion detailed how muscle spasms had impacted her daily life in every way, hindering her ability to walk at times and ultimately forcing her to cancel her upcoming tour plans.
“I am diligently working with my sports medicine therapist daily to regain my strength and performance abilities,” Dion explained. “But it’s definitely been a difficult journey.”
According to the National Institutes of Health, stiff-person syndrome symptoms include stiffness in the torso, arms, and legs, heightened sensitivity to noise, touch, and emotional stress, all of which can trigger muscle spasms.
