CÉLINE DION ‘doesn’t have control over her muscles’ due to illness, says sister
Renowned Canadian singer Céline Dion continues to battle stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder affecting her muscles.
Her older sister, Claudette, expressed concern over Céline’s condition, revealing that she “doesn’t have control over her muscles.” Despite her unwavering work ethic and desire to return to the stage, the progressive and incurable nature of the syndrome poses significant challenges. Claudette emphasized the limited research into this rare condition due to its rarity, affecting only one in a million cases.
Stiff person syndrome can severely impact mobility, sometimes turning sufferers into ‘human statues.’ While rumors circulated about Céline being wheelchair-bound, Claudette refuted them, emphasizing her determination and joy for life. Céline remains committed to her comeback plans, following her doctors’ care plan in Denver.
Despite the hardships, Céline’s family charity, Fondation Maman Dion, has received an outpouring of support from fans, who continue to pray for her and offer their love.
