The well-known Canadian singer Céline Dion recently disclosed that she had been diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome. This rare neurological illness forced her to postpone some of the performances on her European tour.
Céline finds it challenging to sing as she usually does due to the developing muscle rigidity and spasms brought on by this crippling condition. Depending on how severe it is, those with this disorder may experience decreased movement or be forced to spend all of their time in bed.
According to the Stiff Person Syndrome Research Foundation, patients with severe instances may need ongoing care and support with everyday activities.
